Invaluable resource

Fabric for Fashion: The Swatch Book has been an invaluable resource for teaching my clients and students how to make informed online purchases by identifying fabric types. This book offers a comprehensive guide to fabric composition, helping individuals understand the texture, drape, and quality of materials before making a purchase. It’s perfect for anyone looking to elevate their wardrobe with better fabric choices. Highly recommend for fashion enthusiasts and professionals alike!

Very good resource for fabric information

This book is amazing. As a sewer and costumer, I have to find certain types of fabrics for my projects. I also have to order many fabrics online now due to the lack of fabric stores in my area. If I am looking at fabrics online and don't know the difference between a silk organza, silk crepe de chine, or a silk georgette, I can look at the swatches in the book and read the descriptions and info and have a better idea if any of those fabrics would work for my project. I believe this has been used as a textbook for fashion majors, so it is a bit expensive, but totally worth it.

Not really good for home sewists

Does not cover modern fabric blends nor the blends one can buy online. I know the feel and quality of pure cotton, wool, silk, rayon and linen. I was hoping for swatches on linen blends, rayon blends, wool blends and cotton blends other than cotton/polyester. Even if the book additionally included swatches of only the top ten most popular fabric blends available online for home sewists, it would be a great improvement and much more useful.

Wonderful resource for sewist

A very good reference for a seamstress to select fabric. While not nearly every fabric offers swatches, those that are in the book provide a good comparison. I like to feel/handle the fabric. The swatches are small and it isn’t always easy to estimate the drape or hand. But this book is a wonderful reference.

Fabric for fashion the swatch book 2nd edition

I have always wanted a swatch book. This book is incredible. A huge help in my fabric education. Even includes the mysterious “ bamboo cloth.” And other manmade, new types of fabrics.
