I have purchased several other books trying to get what this book has. This book has everything. Step by step directions, background and insight. I am using it like a training manual and going through the exercises. GREAT book! If you want to learn how to do fashion illustrations starting with the body and poses and then the clothing – then this book is for you

Although a little pricey (when busy buying all the other needed materials for the illustration classes) this book is a definite MUST HAVE! It will show you how to draw your croquis and the movements as well as side and back views. Although your professor may not reference this book, it is a wonder piece of Heaven to own! 🙂

I love this book. I have been reading and watching every video everyday. It’s very visual.
I really enjoy that is a bounded book because is easy to manipulate.
About the videos, I’m not sure that I like the way that this edition presented them because you have to create and account to watch them and they are only online access, I think for one year.
Even though I reccomend it! It’s a must if you want to learn how to draw fashion figures (I didn’t study fashion and I am learning on my own). Believe me, I am a fashion geek who lives in New York and this is one of my favorites 😊

I am happy with this purchase, lots of instruction and colorful illustrations. the book is worth the money.
I gave it 4 stars because I did not know the book was not returnable. If you are not sure about the book, you can
order it at Barnes and Noble, they give customers 14 days to return the book.

Great book for all different sources. I use it almost everyday while sketching in my sketch book or in class. though it took over a month to arrive which was not great

I got this for my granddaughter who spends all her spare time drawing dresses. She is eleven. It is a fantastic book for someone a little older. It teaches everything you could possibly want to know about drawing fashion. Probably a great text book of reference for a design student. I returned the book but only because it is beyond my granddaughter’s interest at this time.

Bina Abling is an exceptional instructor. My dream growing up was to become a fashion designer and when that didn’t happen, I yearned for that experience for many years. Now that I’m retired and have some free time, I thought maybe I can learn something about fashion design. Doing much research on Amazon, I found this book to be the epitome of all that and more. Bina is a gifted, knowledgeable, forthright teacher. She encourages your creativity and helps you through the absolute rules of fashion design. The information regarding the tools and the illustrations are phenomenal. I cannot say enough about this book; it’s luxurious and rich with everything you need to know about fashion design. The illustrations and the sketches of children and men which are usually very difficult are very helpful. Bina also includes a DVD inside the front cover – this is very helpful also as you watch her illustrate. Bina also encourages the student. I would recommend this book for any Fashion Design student or anyone who wants to learn to illustrate the runway model or perhaps learn more about the fashion design world.

Dieses Buch hält was es verspricht. Die Illustrationen sind sehr gut, man kann alle wichtigen Basics lernen und mit einiger Übung den eigenen Stil entwickeln.
Für mich ist Design ein Hobby, und es ist wirklich hilfreich, eine Art Plan zu haben wie man sich an eine Figur herantraut, wie die Kleidung an der Person aussieht und wie man schattiert und coloriert.
Absolut empfehlenswert.
