Wedding Dress, The - How to Make the Perfect One f or You

This is one of the best books I have bought so far, all the three dresses give highlights of a technique used in it, one shows the underskirts used, 2nd the boning, draping and strapless bodice, 3rd one is lace bodice and back finishing with rouleau loops,how to add lovely detachable cap sleeves to a strapless bodice, bolero jacket, so many lovely techniques are given, just loved the book as it shows how to make a actual dress with paper patterns included in it

Beautiful book. Delivery on time

I have been making clothes for 30 years, and now has come the time to make my daughters wedding dress....I just wanted to have a book that walked me through some of the steps that I use infrequently, and this book is perfect. I know how to add boning to a dress, but this book illustrates and explains it perfectly. The 3 patterns are wonderful, I am using the train off one of the dresses and the bodice off another. I think you have to have some sewing experience to go through this book, some of the termanology used would means its probably not a book for an absolute beginner, but then an absolute beginner would probably not be making a wedding dress anyway?

A beautiful book that is well written, very informative and even has the patterns in the back of the book in a pocket to make the three dresses in the book in various sizes. The illustrations and the instructions are very clear and everything is covered when trying to make your decisions about styles, fabric, embellishing and even veils. It will be definitely taking pride of place on my book shelf along with Couture Sewing techniques by Lynda Maynard. Thanks Becky :)

Though I'm returning this one and buying a brand new one to make sure I have all the patterns in the back, this book is very informative and fabulous.

Lots of lovely photos and clear instructions. I am half-way through my first project and feel confident that it will be beautiful enough to terrify any future date who takes a peek into my closet... :)

Brilliant book for any avid sewer, great illustration and tips. There's also some free patterns in the back which are lovely dresses. I am a experienced sewer but this book is was to understand for novice sewers too.
