Book Review: 1000 Poses in Fashion
This is a wonderful resource of fashion poses, all very well drawn by Chidy Wayne. There are male and female poses. For a set of clothing, there will be several line drawings and one that's watercoloured. The poses are very lively, almost all of them are standing poses.
1000 is a lot of poses. If you need even more poses, Chidy Wayne has another book called Fashion Design Handbook which features fashion poses in exactly the same style. I like the presentation format of this book better because there are a few poses across the two pages and you can get a good idea of how the clothing reacts with the body.
Two other very similar books to this are How to Draw Poses in Fashion and Fashion Design Handbook.

I've the book in hand now.
The illustrations are from the same artist, Chidy Wayne.
This book is similar to "1000 Poses in Fashion". It's not a technical guide on drawing. There aren't any drawing tips. It merely shows you examples of poses, just like the book above. However, it's a good reference if you want poses because there are plenty.
Thank you, Parka. One more
