Book Reviews of Couture Bridalwear: Pattern Layout and Design
Book Review: Now I know how to make the patterns
Summary: 5 Stars
To make your own, or somebody elses, wedding dress you have to know how to make the pattern. This book tells you how to make up a pattern in any style starting from a basic bodice, sleeve and skirt.For me it's the book I needed. I had my training in patternmaking, but it's the basic and the daily casual wear for women.
Now I can make the pattern for the wedding dress I like.
It's easy written, but I think the knowledge I have about patternmaking makes it more easy to understand.
It's a great supplement to my libary.
I also had my traing in sewing garments, but sewing a wedding dress, I think is quite a different cookie. So I need another book next to this one. So that will be my next buy. And it will probably be "Bridal Couture" by Susan Khalje.
In The Netherlands it's hard to find books to expant my knowledge about these subjects so I'm very pleased to find them even it's in another language.
