- Summary
- "This user-friendly guide to evaluating apparel quality presents the roles of product designers, manufacturers, merchandisers, testing laboratories, and retailers from product inception through the sale of goods, to ensure quality products that meet customer expectations. Bubonia provides an overview of apparel production, with emphasis on quality characteristics and cues, consumer influences and motivations impacting purchasing decisions, and the relationship of apparel manufacturing and production processes, cost, price point and the quality level of an apparel product. A key aspect of the book is the focus on both U.S. and international standards and regulations required for apparel analysis, performance, labeling requirements and safety regulations. Heavily illustrated with images of stitch and seam types plus photos of their uses in actual garments, students will have the tools needed to skillfully evaluate and critique quality elements in apparel and textile products"--
