Fashion tech can require skills in design, pattern-making, sewing, electronics, programming, and 3D printing. Besides the tech skills, making a good costume or accessory also requires knowledge of the intangibles of what makes a good costume. Regardless of whether you are coming at this from the theater costuming, sewing, or electronics side, this book will help you get started with the other skills you need.
More than just a book of projects (although it has those too), Practical Fashion Tech teaches why things are done a certain way to impart the authors’ collective wealth of experience. Whether you need a book fora wearable tech class or you just want to get started making fantastic costumes and wearables on your own, Practical Fashion Tech will get you there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Focused on skills and projects for costumers and cosplayers
A fashion tech book that is focused on skills and projects for costumers and cosplayers. It would make a good one stop resource for both beginning and more advanced sewers. If you only want to buy one book to work on your costumes and your wearable electronics, this would be an excellent choice, it has a lot of information and is comparable in price to similar books. This book is packed with a lot information, starting with the very basics of how to plan and sew costumes. It is almost a combination of sewing instruction, costumers' handbook, and fashion tech book. There are a number of projects both using basic skills and progressing to more complex; including the Mondrian dress that is on the cover. I've read a lot of similar books with electronic projects and this one has new and interesting ones that I have not seen in other books or on the internet. The print and photos are not as fancy and glossy as those from other publishers, and the paper could be better quality. This publisher seems to have a number of related books on wearable tech, arduino projects, etc. that may also be interesting to fashion designers and costumers. I met the book authors at World Maker Faire in NYC (October 2, 2016), and got the book directly from them at the event.
5.0 out of 5 stars As A Huge Fan of Project Runway....
As a huge fan of Project Runway — and Halloween — I’d recommend this book for anyone who wants to “make it work” for their own garments. It’s a great jumping off point for creative fashion. We’re already seeing technology in designer gowns on the red carpet. This book makes the process accessible for design students and DIY fashionistas to push boundaries. Can Arduino turn you into Valentino? Soft goods enhanced with hardware, what could be more innovative for today’s fashion forward fans? My favorite designs in the book — The Kinematics Dresses — simply stunning 3D printed works of art. Inspired by innovation, yet practical enough to alleviate intimidation, a great how-to book.

Good book . I used It for My Thesis a year ago.
