DESCRIPTION:
cool book Manni This is a very neat book but it over sells the "pick apart each pattern of the dress." they have a basic sketch and they point out certain things. As a seamstress, I was a little disappointed about that. I wasn't looking for patterns, but a little more explanation in the design. Still, it's a very cool book if you like dress making and royal/celebrity weddings.. "Wonderful Book" according to Sherry. Wonderful, great pictures and drawings of the dresses with explanations. While I may not agree with all the choices they are indeed fantastic designs. Richard Sims said Very pretty book.. Got this as a gift for my fiancée who wants to make her dress, she loves this :)
