CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great Book! -
Instructions very clear and pictures show exactly what the written word has explained. I recommend this book to all sewers!
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
Misleading Title - 
This book doesn't really teach any couture techniques. What it does teach are some interesting tips that are explained in an articulate, easy-to-follow way. While fine for beginners, intermediate and advanced sewers may want to spend their money elsewhere.
Great details -
This book has detailed instructions and pictures for the little details that make a difference in courture sewing.
Magnificent Resource -
Cool Couture provided detailed written guidelines accompanied by magnificent photos. This book will be a major resource in my fabric and sewing library; I've already begun to appreciate some of the presentations outlined.
Amazon is my ongoing source for references of this sort. Thank you Amazon for the prompt delivery of this sorely needed book.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Basic Tailoring, not 'Couture'... -
Mine eyes!... Based on the recommendations on Amazon I purchased this book. My copy arrived today, and whilst I can't really assess how well written the step by step instructions are (I'd need to try them out on my sewing machine to see whether they're any better than those in other books), there certainly ain't anything 'Couture' about them... The pictures and fashion are absolutely hideous - one fussy, garish, cheap-looking outfit after another (without forgetting the most heinously upholstered chair!). The picture on the cover should have given it away, sadly I didn't click 'enlarge' to check it out before buying. As for the alleged 'couture' tips: how to make a single/ double welt pocket, adding piping to a jacket, bound buttonholes, etc. these are all basic tailoring... not Couture. Sadly it's not even that good at the basic tailoring... In my copy, there's a picture of a vertically striped jacket that is so poorly fitted it ends up pulling at each button-hole (with tell-tale kinks in the stripes where it pulls). I have many sewing books already, and this only duplicates what I aleady know. A sham in (very) ugly clothes.
