Title: The little black dress : how to make the perfect one for you /
Simon Henry.
Author: Henry, Simon.
Summary: The LBD is classic, timeless and a fashion failsafe. But
where to find one which is tailor-made, that fits you perfectly and
compliments your body shape? The answer is to make it yourself! Even
if you have never before sewn a stitch, expert dressmaker Simon Henry
will guide you through the process of making the perfect little black
dress. The book begins with the materials and sewing techniques you
need to get started. Simon then shows you how to construct and fit a
body block, based on your personal measurements. The block forms the
basis for all the patterns in the book and you can go on to make your
first LBD. There are three classic styles to work from: a chic shift;
a stylish wraparound and an elegant strapless cocktail dress, with a
jacket and hat to match!.
