Dress Shirt Design

by Malie Raef

Every element of the man's dress shirt is explored here, including collars, plackets, pockets, shoulder seams, armholes, short sleeves, long sleeves, cuffs, cuff plackets, back yokes, garment shaping, bottom hems, and vents. Written by a professional designer of men's fashions, this book features over 840 computer flat sketches of many shirts' components, as well as fashion illustrations from guest artists. The flat sketches demonstrate how pieces are sewn, details of stitching, and fabric layers. The artists' sketches indicate how design elements are incorporated into garments aimed at specific customer bases, from high-end luxury to urban department store. This is a valuable resource for fashion design students and tailoring professionals alike, as well as anyone with a passion for clothing design.
