About this product

Product Information

Tanya Whelan believes that dressmaking is easier than most people realize but that most sewing books are more complicated than they need to be. With her choose-your-own-adventure approach to sewing, Tanya offers an invaluable collection of patterns that empowers sewers to become designers. The trick is a set of patterns for 6 skirts and 8 bodices that line up perfectly at the waist, plus an additional 4 sleeve styles and 4 necklines. Tanya Whelan gives readers clear instructions and easy-to-follow step-by-step diagrams that allow them to use the enclosed pattern pieces to create up to 219 fitted dresses, including simple strapless designs, sheaths, and halter gowns. The book covers basic dress construction and altering techniques for women of all shapes and sizes.

    Really great seller, my book was slightly damaged but this was not visible from the outside or from flicking through - it was a handful of pages at the very back. I contacted the seller who responded super quickly and the issue was resolved. I would have no qualms buying from this seller again and wholly recommend them

    Lots of dress combinations

    I bought this book because it shows you lots of combinations and that way I have lots of different patterns all in one place! Well worth the money!

  • Sew many dresses sew little time

    Arrived quickly. Book is ring bound which is great and an unexpected bonus, it allows pages to lie flat for easy reading while dressmaking. I have picked up some great tips from this book. Took it to work and two colleagues ordered it too! It comes with full sized patterns which are a bit busy because they overlap each other - I found going over my size in a coloured pencil before tracing much easier. The dresses are lovely and I have made several already. The instructions are straight forward and the construction of some things (sleeves for instance) is less fussy than in a Simplicity pattern. I have also mastered invisible zips thanks to this book, love it!

  • Dress making fun

    As a beginner the book is quite straight forward. I like that i can do some experimental designing by combining skirt bodice sleeves and neckline/collars to create endless dresses.

  • Good resource for a custom approach

    Great idea -- basic pattern and how to interchange pieces for a huge variety of looks. With fitting and sewing advice.
