Review on 👔 Hankie Couture: Exquisite Hand-Crafted Fashion Handkerchiefs by Robert Jaskolski

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hanki delicious! in crafts, hobbies and household

Get a cup of Earl Gray and some candy; A valued visit awaits at the little ladies of Hankie Couture—and they are ladies! Marsha Greenberg, an incredibly talented designer and seamstress extraordinaire, has made dozens of absolutely adorable little dresses, gowns, coats, and nightgowns from vintage handkerchiefs, and here she is sharing them with you! They are designed for Barbie size dolls. This book is bursting at the seams with style! Each page is mesmerizing with intelligent photos and sayings about Hankie Couture culture. "Hankie Couture women embrace the lost art of casual writing. Every day they write a letter or call a friend just to say hello.” It's about beauty, whimsical, brilliance and an almost forgotten handkerchief (but with a vintage twist): feminine quality. Each page contains a wonderfully detailed little outfit, and just when you think you've seen your favorite piece it tops the next page! I've had this book for almost three weeks now and I can't put it down! I always see something new in her. Marsha even includes instructions on how to make tissues! They are well defined and even an inexperienced person can follow them, especially if you read them multiple times as Marsha suggests. it is in stock for you. I have spent hours in awe of this book and all my friends are in awe as well. By the way, this is a high quality, durable paperback, sized to fit open-faced, probably the best format for this type of book. The cover and pages are smooth and have a satin finish. A real treat for every stylish woman, girls from 7 years old, chic grannies and people who just want to have fun!
