Book Reviews of Bodymapping: The Step-By-Step Guide to Fitting Real Bodies

Book Review: Pleased
Summary: 4 Stars

I haven't tried the techniques in the book, or read very far, but I do have to agree that gingham is a poor choice in fabric to use for a grid sloper. I have read the beginning of the book and skimmed through it and it seems very helpful. It's something I've been looking into for some time now. I'd like to make my own patterns and also I'd like to get commercial patterns to fit. This book focuses more on making your own patterns. I see it as I'm getting something out of this book, whether it be one tip or many, and that will add to my sewing knowledge. Plus for the price of about 6 bucks at the local bookstore, there's not much to frown about.
