Summary: Good for advanced sewers, beginners might have trouble
Comment: Beginners may find some of the instructions difficult to follow. I don't know where to find some of those lovely parts to make bras with--that's something I've long wanted to do, and previous attemps to make really good bras failed. I have taken their advice and used patterns and my own ideas for lingerie, but one day I want to draft my own French panty pattern. It takes a little measuring and drawing, but once you make your template I'm sure it works fine. I have used one of the Vogue shirt patterns they list for a pajama shirt (eliminating the cuffs on the sleeves), got another pattern for the bottoms, cut up an old sheet and trimmed the PJ's with a little lace. Looks great, and wasn't that difficult.

Summary: Pretty, not practical
Comment: Although this book has the beautiful layout of all Taunton books, it unfortunately lacks clarity. Many techniques desribed left me pondering how they actually work. The book does have some good general advice on selecting fabrics, and some possible ways to personalize your work. It might be worth a look, but the author seems to have some trouble when it comes to specific explanations.
I'd be interested to see if anyone could figure out how to do a "turned lace hem" from the instructions.

Summary: A wonderfully inspiring book
Comment: I have to say I have a nice library of sewing books and this is one of my favourites!! It delves deep into the topic, has lots of inspiring photos and clear, concise instructions.
If you like beautiful lingerie, want to try your hand at sewing something new, create one-of a kind garments, this book is great.
One unique thing about this book, is while this book goes into depth about specialty lingerie fabrics, it also gives great ideas on how to use regular fabrics in ways you may not have considered.
It also gives instructions on how to adapt regular commercial clothing patterns for sleepwear and how to draft some custom underwear patterns.
Just inspirational and great!!
