Stylish Dress Book: Clothing for Everyday Wear Paperback – October 22, 2013

This pattern book has even more cute clothing than the last! These are more summer oriented, so I bought it at the wrong time of year. I will be making some of it anyway. The only problem that I have with any of Yoshiko Tsukiori and other Japanese design books is that you have to buy pattern paper and trace the patterns - not too big of a hassle (lets you keep a permanent copy of all clothes in all sizes) but then you have to add the seam allowance to that. Many times I have wished I had one of those old rolling rulers they used to have on tv. It took me an hour to prepare the pattern and it took me just over 2 to make the garment. 1/3 of construction time should not be spent on preparing the pattern!

Such sweet, easy to wear designs. I think this book is great, and a person could make some lovely outfits using it. Sizes are small, it only goes up to a 34" bust, but that is my only complaint.

I am addicted to Japanese sewing books! I'm so happy that they are translated into English. Nobody can style minimalism better than the Japanese.

Book came in great condition and was shipped quickly. I can't wait to start sewing up some of these designs!

I am obsessed with Japanese sewing books! The clothing is natural with clean lines. The pattern process takes a little getting used to, and the sizes do run smaller than American sizes, but the patterns are easy to adjust if you have the experience.

Nice book and patterns just as other reviewers have said. Simple patterns that can be made as shown or really personalized, embellished, funked up....whatever inspiration you have!

Love this book.I've made two tunics already.You can mix and match sleeves, pockets, etc and create your own.

Lovely patterns, easy to use
