Rating: Summary: Nice pictures, no instruction Review: Don't be misled by the title of this book as I was. I was extremely disappointed. The book is filled with plenty of useful information about fabrics and places to travel, but not much on how to sew anything, much less a wardrobe! The book contains several photos of beautiful outfits, with no details on how to make them or even where to buy the pattern! Not worth the money or the effort to read, in my opinion!

Rating: Summary: Avid sewer and travel liked this book Review: The fly on the jacket said "this book will be an inspiration and a big help." I found it to be both. Not all of the clothing by the various designers was to my personal taste but I could visualize their ideas with my own interpretation. I thought many of the items including the reversible pull-on pants, reversible jacket, four seasons vest and four-way reversible sleeveless tunic terrific and were alone worth the price of the book. I wish the book had gone even further as I would like to see more ideas for specific climates and both business and leisure travel.
Rating: Summary: Nice pictures, no instruction Review: This book was nice to look at, but aside from some accessories, there were no instructions other than to use a favorite pattern. Please! The clothes would look nice on some people, but not for most of us, and nowhere does the author address how you keep reversible blouses clean, since you can't very well put underarm shields in them.You would be better off getting Sewing Express by Nancy Zieman, or buying some of Jasmine Hubble's books. This book needs a deep discount, or be republished with instructions!
