Book Reviews of Knitting Lingerie Style: More Than 30 Basic and Lingerie-Inspired Designs
Book Review: Beautiful and Tasteful
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book! I bought it on a whim, and I'm so very glad I did! The layout and photography are lovely, and the hardback construction of the book is remarkably nice for the price. Best of all, it is filled with wonderful patterns -- patterns that are sexy in a way that makes me feel beautiful and tasteful. I already have most of the book pegged for future projects. I heartily look forward to a fun and intimate journey through it with needles and yarn.
P.S. My husband loves this book too. He's also pegged quite a few projects for me. :)
Summary of Knitting Lingerie Style: More Than 30 Basic and Lingerie-Inspired Designs
The only knitting book focused on lingerie and lingerie-inspired designsUnderwear has come out. Once kept demurely concealed, lingerie now pervades every fashion category, inspiring designs for day looks, loungewear, evening clothes, and accessories. Slips have become dresses unto themselves. Bra straps are meant to peek out from under tank tops. Camisoles are worn on their own or as layers over or under other clothes. Now, with Knitting Lingerie Style, designer Joan McGowan-Michael interprets this undeniable fashion trend for the knitter and, along the way, shares fascinating stories about lingerie history. Did you know that it was airplane magnate Howard Hughes who masterminded the underwire bra?
McGowan-Michael?s 30-plus designs, stunningly photographed by Thayer Allyson Gowdy, range from the truly functional?knitted bras, slips, corsets, camisoles, and stockings?to the purely fun. The brassiere inspires a curvature-enhancing twinset. The baby doll negligee is the basis for a lacy little gown and a matching thong set that?s both luxurious and (slightly) notorious. And a ribbed, laced-front sweater is an updated?and much more comfortable!?take on the classic corset.
The only book of its kind on the market, Knitting Lingerie Style includes projects that are bold and sexy, daring us all to bare a little skin, as well as more understated and demure, with sizes ranging from petite to plus.
