Title: Not really for professional use
Product review: I purchased this book while in my first year at fashion school in the hopes that it would supplement the techniques I was learning in my fashion illustration course. I never used the book, though. The templates and style of fashion illustration used are dated and the proportions were not what we were being taught at school, which rendered the templates unusable for me. Even after I learned how to properly sketch for fashion I couldn't adapt or use the templates because current fashion illustration shows a more elongated, stylized silhouette. I ended up sending this book to my 12-year-old niece, who has shown an interest in fashion design and will probably find it useful for basic construction of fashion silhouettes.
