I don't own this book YET, but I sure plan to! I borrowed it from the library, and it is marvelous! It's got instructions on how to fit your figure, how to fit a sloper, how to pad a dressform, what colors and skirt lengths are good for your shape, and much more. I'd say experienced or not, great book to have in your library.
A wonderful book for the more advanced dressmaker

As always, Threads has done it!! This book is full of wonderful ideas, information, and how to do things. Do you have a dress form that does not look like your body? This book offers information and instructions on how to pad the dress form to your size and shape!!! It discusses finding your flattering skirt length, collar choice, turning darts into pleats and much more. This is a book to keep. The information is timeless and even includes some pattern grading information. I would suggest another book (Fitting and Pattern Alteration, for example) for more detailed alteration methods. This book, however, is a treasure. It also discusses altering ready to wear items (waistbands, mostly). It has excellent photographs, instructions, and is easy to read. It is worth every penny!!
