Review on 👗 Cute Dresses Made Easy: 25 Simple Designs for Sewing by Amy Mcleod

I love Japanese dress designs and was so excited to finally see the volume printed in English. These dresses are very pretty and the patterns are fairly simple, although they do require some sewing skills. I would recommend finding out your actual dress size before attempting anything from this book. The "one size fits all” assumption simply doesn’t work here. I'm 5"2", 105 lbs (US size 2-4) so the Japanese medium size usually works well for me. These patterns are suitable for a medium sized miniature American (6-8 miniature). Also, the shapes are really very geometric and not figure-hugging at all. With some knowledge of changing patterns, you should be able to put this book to work for you. I love modern design ideas and will probably try about 5 of these dresses.
