Useful yes, not perfect. It has measurement charts which is what I really bought it for. They're in limited sizes because the book is aimed at the fashion industry, but still useable because you can grade up or down. Be aware when using the drafts that they're contemporary, so they all have a modern fit - shorter and slimmer than a traditional fit. But I absolutely love that it tells you exactly where and how big pockets should be!
Organized by garment type - pants, jackets, etc. It's logical and easy to find what you're looking for.
No information about how to deal with non-traditional body types and sizes.
it's exactly what I was looking for and in great condition.
same as most pattern drafting books!
