lingerie secrets, but not compleet
By Obistat
This is a gorgeous book, with lots of pictures, including fitting advice. Some patterns are drafted from body measurements, and those may fit everyone. But others are only available in 4 or 5 dissimilar sizes, to be copied (and enlarged) from the book. Only one model of bra is included, and that is not a very supportive model, so not suitable for fuller figures. The book give some ideas for night wear and lounge wear, using both woven and knitted fabrics. Both design/drafting and sewing tips are included.

Good Tips
By Tamii
Many fantasti tips are given to get beginners and those with experience started with sewing basic, traditionalisti lingerie. If you’re looking for more provocative lingerie, you’ll have to look elsewhere as this book just covers the basi principles of fabricating conventional lingerie—a basic slip, half-slip, full coverage panty, light bra (for littler sizes) and boxers. Instructions are given for making a pattern for the camisol and slips only. For the bra, panty and boxers, a pattern is given, but will need to be photocopied and expanded. The instructions given in this book are easy to follow and the pictures without doubt or question illustrate the proficiencies being presented. Highly commended for those who want to start out making conventional lingerie/undies.

Absolutely Terrific Book
By Gail Rodgers
The only bad thing regarding this book is the copy I got to see is a library book and to buy one, they are presently more than my budget allows! That being said, I love this book. Very ample, clear, color photographic illustrations. Choices on how to do something was given including instructions for a conventional bottom of the line sewing machine (as long as it may zigzag) and serger. I hate books that say there is only one way to sew a seam, she gives optional stitches or tells you how to trim with lace. We also learn how to use dissimilar elastics and when to use and how the clear elastic.

One of the best things regarding this book is she remembers those of us who aren’t traditionalisti skinny girls. She tells you how to make maternity panties and even a nursing nightie (which looks like you may take those instructions and make nursing tops also!). For those who may be disabled she explains how to make a full slip that buttons or snaps in the front so there is no need to pull itover your head and also shows how to makes a button closure wrap half slip for those with difficultness dressing themselves.

Even even though numerous of the patterns in the book need enlarged, instructions are likewise given for how to convert a regular sewing pattern into slips and other garments. Almost all the designs and instructions given would genuinely be helpful in sewing your conventional camisole, slip and nightie sewing patterns.

I learned a lot when it comes to sewing just from reading through this book and will unquestionably be looking to adding it to my sewing reference library.
