"[...] a total of 26 patterns in sizes 6 to 16. So many of the styles are perfect for layering and leggings," -- Sweeter Than Cupcakes Blog blog, This collection of 26 garments features the work of designer Tsukiori, whose blousy, romantic style is popular in her native Japan. Some of the dresses are stylish in a sweet, retro way, but a few look like children's clothing sized to fit adults, making them a little too precious-looking for most adults to wear. The directions for assembling the garments assume significant knowledge of clothing construction--there is no basic how-to information provided. Patterns for sizes 6 -16 are included. VERDICT Though the garments themselves aren't particularly complex and the directions aren't very detailed; this book is most appropriate for skilled, confident sewists or fashion/design collections. -- Library Journal, "This collection of 26 garments features the work of designer Tsukiori, whose blousy, romantic style is popular in her native Japan.
