This book was chosen because I needed some up-to-date ideas about improving my wardrobe. This author did provide the ideas, but she also overwhelmed me. The author made the "fixes" sound so easy to do, but I tried a few and they are hard work. I did glean a few ideas about what is lacking in my wardrobe, so now I can start the quest to find those items. Some of the information was delivered to fast, but other parts dragged and I thought I never was going to get to the main point of the chapter. It is a good reference book to take in small doses, to read it cover-to-cover like I did was overwhelming. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

I do wish there had been a few more illustrations in the discussions of alterations. Most – certainly not all – of the alterations she discussed require only basic sewing skills and many readers could probably figure out how to do them with just a little more description and a couple of line drawings. I've been hemming my clothes pretty much entire life, as it's a necessity at my height, and I've learned to do a few other basic alterations as well. As a teen in the 1970s when we were all supposed to be wearing men's jeans, I figured out the so-called secret of putting a couple of darts in the back of the waist to make my pants fit better (even then, I did not have boyish hips). I'm no seamstress, but I've also taken in the top half of a dress at the side seams to remedy gaping armholes; I'm confident I could manage other such basic alterations with a bit of guidance.
Having said that, I really do appreciate how thorough this book is about making sure your clothing fits properly and in providing instruction in how to take proper care of your clothes. ( )
