Make them yours!

I was so excited about this book and it does what I expected. The patterns are so simple and easy to use that it will be very easy to make them your size no matter how tall I am and plan to make some of these for my 12 year old daughter without having to play around with complex math and evaluation is real, it's about understanding how you fit your body or someone else's body. I keep seeing people refer to these dresses as "bags" but the patterns are actually recommendations! Play with them until they match, add arrows, make them your own! Use less fabric and make the waist less bulky. I can also envision making some of these shorter and wearing them as tunic style tops over jeans or leggings. I am very much looking forward to getting started on more than one project in this book. I have a huge stash of fabrics (I sew for a living) and can't wait to use some of my vintage stuff and other stuff I've bought and never used. how much ease or non-adding to the pattern to make them look good on YOU! Raise the belt, narrow the torso. This book has some great drawing techniques that you can use to create your own drawings. Be creative.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Love the simple dress designs. Only thing missing is no paper patterns included.

There are only diagrams, no patterns. I don't find that useful at all.
