Review: Great inspiration, gentle introduction to patternmaking & variations - I'm very impressed with this book - patterns are simple but interesting. I'll definitely be embellishing the dresses with some lace, etc. to add some interest, but simple patterns are a great starting point. There are a couple references in the beginning pages to 'if you have never sewn before'. The patterns are simple enough to sew as a beginner but I would not recommend this book to a beginner because pattern adjustments could lead to all types of questions. There is not too much hand-holding in the pattern instructions which is nice for an intermediate sewer. I wish there were a few pages on alterations to the back of the bodice - there is no mention of it, and the back can add so much interest to a dress. The paper patterns are more confusing than need to be - if there were dotted or dashed lines it would be easier to distinguish size lines and trace your pattern. Overall a really cute book at a good price considering the content & included patterns.
Review: This book does not disappoint! - After falling in love with her fabric years ago, I'm a big Tanya Whelan fan. This book is a wonderful all-in-one resource that any seamstress should have. She makes it easy to design your own dress to achieve any design you can think up. It has patterns and directions that allow you to mix and match bodices (from halters to strapless!), skirts (short, long, in between) and sleeves (!!! this is what I've been looking for specifically!). You can customize a dress based on what makes you feel most comfortable. The diagrams and photos are lovely and very clear. There are so many tips scattered throughout, from in depth explanations to sewing in bodice linings with or without zippers - to adding boning! Information on hems and why some are better than others, sewing darts, diy-custom dress form instructions. Information on how and why to choose the fabrics for the dresses you are going to make. She left nothing out. If you're new at sewing, you need this book. If you're seasoned, you need this book. Anyone who sews - put this book on your shelf :) I'm so happy with this purchase, and only wish I had more seamstress friends I could gift it to.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for the total novice. Very good range of sizes.
*by L***A on April 14, 2017*

I've been trying to teach myself how to sew after taking a single introductory class to sewing that covered the basics of the machine and hemming. So, I bought this book along with several others and found this to be the least beginner friendly -- at least, not for a novice like me. I've made dog coats, neckties and zippered pouches but that's about it. I intend to try the basic bodice and basic skirt out of this book, but have found myself needing to google terminology that the book does not describe. For example, I know what interfacing is (as I've had to use it in ties), but didn't know there was "facing" fabric as well. The book explains how to use facing fabric, lining fabric and interfacing, but does not explain what they are (obviously lining fabric is self-explanatory but this was the first time I ever heard of facing fabric). In any event, the book is still a tiny bit too advanced for me, but I love all the dress options and the fact that they allow for a very wide range of sizes (from 32-24-34 through to 50.5-42.5-52.5), which accommodates my small frame much better than a lot of other modern dressmaking books.
