Customer Review

It's okay, but lacking and outdated
by Customer A2VUEUUSFBOX3I at February 23rd, 2007
I thought I would learn how to draft my own patterns, and this book teaches you how--if you lived in 1976. I think this book would teach you how to make an impressive wardrobe than friends would be envy of if we lived nearly four decades ago. Most of the items he goes over is completely out of fashion such as peasant sleeves, gathered waistlines, and leg-o-mutton sleeves. Another things that rather bugged me is that they went over how to draft a men's suit, but ignored how to draft a women's suit. There is a lot of salvageable information here, enough for someone with the know-how to pick out and use for his/her own drafting, however unless you're in love with the vintage way of the 1970s, don't get it. I'm rather disappointed that I did.
