Faculty Spotlight: Larissa McConnell

Larissa McConnell (Theatre and Dance) had her book Foundations of Flat Patterning and Draping – for the Female Form published through Routledge. The book provides the foundational tools necessary for success in the techniques of flat patterning and draping clothes and costumes. The techniques in this book generalize across sizes and shapes making it universally applicable for the student technician, as well as the person the garment is being developed for. It is well suited for use as a textbook for the undergraduate college instructor teaching costuming or fashion, as well as for the student or individual learning on their own in theatre, film, or fashion industries.
