Pattern Cutting for Lingerie, Beachwear and Leisurewear

Gogh Me said Great for what needed. I bought this book along with How to Make Sewing Patterns by McCunn. With some previous knowledge (10 yrs prior, so it's been awhile & definitely not fresh) I was able to use this book easily for swimwear & lingerie. There is LOTS of lingerie & lounge wear, some I had never heard of or seen.I wish more explanation was given about working with spandex. "Excellent" according to Kindle Customer. I'm a professional seamstress and was looking for an excellent reference guide, this is it. I don't recommend for a beginner, but definitely good for an intermediate to excellent seamstress.. Amazon Customer said Dont judge a book by its cover!! it. Dont judge a book by its cover!! it shows you every style of lingerie you can think of and how to draft it!
