Review: The only book needed regarding textile - This book is a very informative and detailed book. It has everything you need referencing textiles. Definitely a book for anyone in fashion school or in the fashion industry. The pictures in the book are an extra reward. With each textile the book will have a picture of a garment made from that textile. It got me through a class, where as the instructor had no idea the differences in textile. One week a fabric was a polyester(blend) and the next it was a rayon(blend) or cotton. Sometimes she changed her mind in the same day. I am still using it today. Brief details of the book: Fabric production, fabric waste, how textiles are made, manmade versus natural, charts in the back summarizing fabric textile and how they are produced, whether it is a top/bottom or medium weight, what garments can be used with each textile, advantages and disadvantages, other names for the fabrics, whether it is weave or weft, single knit/double knit, selvage, PFD textiles preparing for dyeing (but it is brief/not the book for learning how to dye textiles)
Review: An absolutely incredible publication! Every designer must own! - This is an outstanding reference book for any designer cat designer pattern maker. It is absolutely phenomenally organized for every fabric in a way that you simply memorize it. Well, it is incredible publication.!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent!
*by E***S on December 22, 2012*

Wow, what a great book. Anyone getting into fashion and sewing will love this book. Extremely detailed. I didn't know there were so many fabrics to choose from. It talks about the positives and negatives of various fabrics. It is a great help for someone like me. I'm getting back into sewing and fashion. It helps me zero in on good quality fabrics to focus on and which ones are easier to work with. I highly recommend it for young designers, fashion inspiration, sewing projects.
