Summary
The second edition of The Spec Manual provides fashion professionals and students with an affordable, up-to-date guide for measuring a variety of garments, reflecting standard garment-industry practice. This textbook/workbook contains front and back view croquis for men, women, off sizes and children, spec sheet templates, illustrated measurement points, tables with measurement points, sample spec sheets and a CD-ROM.
