Review # 1 was written on 2015-01-05 00:00:00 Marc Lanari The directions for drafting the basic knit sloper is incorrect and hard to follow. If you do follow them exactly as written, it will leave you with an poorly sized garment and looks odd. There are charts for the different sizes, (Misses, Petite, Junior etc), and these are incorrect as well. I used other pattern drafting directions to create an accurate sloper. The grading by stretch % are correct, but in the end I purchased Patternmaking with Stretch Knit Fabrics by Julie Cole. Save yourself the hard work of discovering what I took two weeks to figure out and just by that book. The sad part is, the publisher's are aware of the errors and issued no corrections, (I read reviews and saw I wasn't the only person who sent e-mails about the issues).

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-14 00:00:00 Chad Vogele I received this book as a gift and it took me some time to get to it, but once I started reading, I couldn't stop. It reads like a mix of biography and dishy tell all and takes you deep into the glorified and narcissistic worlds of Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent in the 1970s. Beautifully written, extraordinarily researched ( with over 500 interviews), you are transported back to the lavish excesses of the 70s at every turn of the page. Although the book concentrates on fashion as lived by the rival camps of Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld, its scope is much broader. Throughout a narrative that reads as compellingly as fiction, the author analyzes the socio-cultural events that shaped the Paris fashion world. Despite the superficial nature of the worlds they lived in and their countless personal foibles, that included sex, drugs and a gluttonous appetite for power, you can't help but become attached to these supremely talented characters. This book would make a wonderful gift for anyone interested in fashion, Paris or history.
