Haute Couture Fashion Illustration Resource Book: How to draw evening dresses and wedding gowns (Fashion Croquis Books)

Gives great ideas for use with pattern cutting

I have found this book is good for visual learners. It does not really provide detailed instructions on how to complete sketches but seeing outlines and sketches, if you have a basic level of artistic skill and observation technique, the ideas are clear enough to help you construct lines and shapes in your own fashion designs. There is a good range of silhouettes and styles to help inspire budding designers!Please remember, this is not a 'How-to' guide, but instead provides useful reference images.
