Fabric for Fashion: The Swatch Book Revised Second Edition

Product Information

Other reviewers also complained about some of the fabric samples missing, but the book that I received was covered completely in plastic, so this wasn’t an issue for me. The fabric swatch book by this author contains guides that provide sample course outlines, assignments, and tips for daily use as well as obstacles that any fashion professional would come across.

Marnie Fogg is a fashion expert whose experience of the fashion industry means that she is uniquely placed to access original material.

It also has been tested, and there is a pdf that provides reference fabric sample pages with different color images that makes it easier to check. This is not my entry (it’s already here), but a friend just posted this on FB, written by her daughter.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. but I have saved it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a lot more, Please do keep up the fantastic work. I might want to get some book with even more information on the fabric, but the swatches, they are the major advantage of this book. She is curator at The Sustainable Angle and in this role curates for the Future Fabrics Expo, delivers brand advisories and speaks at conferences internationally. From there each fiber is broken down into the many different kinds of fabrics and weaves made from it and explains how each of these is produced and the specific properties they hold.This easily navigable resource provides 100 swatches of most recognized and widely used varieties of fabric, including cottons, silks, wools, and linens, to encourage consideration of not just the aesthetic appeal of various fabrics but also their structure, feel, and weight. Honestly I think this section alone makes the book worth purchasing if you've ever felt on the fence about this. A lot of time the synthetic version of a weave is harder to work with than the natural version and I think you can really see how this is true with the side by side comparison included in the book.
