This is a perfect manual on sewing. The dresses are a wonderful assortment. No detail is left out and the instructions are detailed. All of Gertie’s book are A+

    Is it worth it? Sewing Edition
  

*by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2019*

I will just be honest and say I bought this book for the patterns with are about 23 in the book. I figured it couldn't hurt.so here are the ones that caught my attention. Even though I must say I was not wowed by any of the dresses in this book.The blue wool work dress although the skirt makes it more appropriate for the 40' that is an easy fix.The dress looks a bit odd on gertie as the bodice screams 50's but the skirt screams 40's.The Emerald Faille party dressThe faux sarong dress has potental, if you remove the sarong and use a different fabricThe faux tulle party dress is 50''s winner.The plaid secretary dressThe Hot pink Crepe dressThe rest I was rather disappointed. My thoughts are 6 patterns for 17.00$ is not that bad. So overall I think what I got from the book versus the price is good. I weighed  the pattern sizing errors against the construction information in the book and think that for someone jumping into retro sewing the construction information is not that bad-Granted you already have a solid base in fitting and the style eras. I do not think this book is for beginners, for the patterns you will more than likely need extensive fitting knowledge and to get the patterns, era appropriate, knowledge of the fashion time frame, that only comes with study. As I always say Gertie is not a true historical sewer she interprets the time era and produces what she likes, which is fine but does not always look accurate if you are bent  on the historical fashion of an era.However, the sizing is definitely off when making up the patterns. I am used to doing a billion muslins for garments anyway so that didn't bother me as much. But for people who usually only have to tweak a few things here and there, that can be concerning especially with the facing pieces. So word of advice make sure your are making muslins and checking your piece to make sure they line up correctly.Other than the patterns there is nothing glaringly good or bad about the book. I was disappointed as I thought I would get to see some amazing dresses to replicate but only got "okay ones". If you are diving into retro fashion this book can't hurt but if you have her first book, you won't find anything too special about this one. Is it a must have..Not for me.

    THE vintage-style dress book you need!
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2020*

I ordered this book because I love vintage-style clothes and wanted to branch out to start sewing my own.  I am a strong intermediate home sewer, and found this book easy to follow and understand.  Gertie is excellent at showing you what you need to know - there is written direction as well as visual directions.  As someone who is a visual learner (I need pictures, video, or to see it done to learn) I really appreciate this detail.  She also shows the garment on a mannequin turned inside out, showing you what the construction details look like when finished, which I found exceptionally helpful.  She also discusses foundation garments, which you are going to want to learn about if you want the finished dress to look correct - silhouette is soooo important with these styles!!  I strongly recomment Gertie's books, her pattern line, Charm patterns, and joining her Patreon account.  All of these have proven VERY helpful to me as I learn more about vintage clothing and style, and how to translate that knowledge into creating my own closet of beautiful, perfect-to-me fitting clothing.
