Book Reviews of Lingerie Secrets: Sew a Perfect Fit for Every Body

Book Review: Good Tips
Summary: 4 Stars

Many wonderful tips are given to get beginners and those with experience started with sewing basic, conventional lingerie. If you're looking for more provocative lingerie, you'll have to look elsewhere as this book just covers the basics of constructing conventional lingerie---a basic slip, half-slip, full coverage panty, light bra (for smaller sizes) and boxers. Instructions are given for making a pattern for the camisol and slips only. For the bra, panty and boxers, a pattern is given, but will need to be photocopied and expanded. The instructions given in this book are easy to follow and the pictures clearly illustrate the techniques being presented. Highly recommended for those who want to start making conventional lingerie/undies.
