Perfect for those starting out. I appreciate the drafting directions and the ease of use. I also like that I can make both male and female clothing... and that it is mix and match.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this book! It's by far the most useful resource for constructing hanfu (modern/costume hanfu) that I've found in the English language thus far! Very clear diagrams and measurement guides to follow. I can't wait to pick out my fabric and use one of these patterns!
My only qualm is that there are more than a few formatting errors. For the price, I would have expected that last bit of polish, but the actual information in here is pretty good. I definitely recommend this for anyone wanting to make their own hanfu out of respect and love for these traditional garbs or for making their own costumes/cosplay!
