I WANT TO MAKE A PRINCESS DRESS - THEY TOLD ME I CAN
June 27, 2023
This book is around 3.5 stars for me.
This is a cute book! It isn't totally what I expected but can see it being enjoyable for the seasoned cosplayer.
There are nice pictures in this book from a handful for cosplayers with examples of different gown designs. The focus is more on characters that aren't traditionally in gowns than recreating gown costumes. There's information on patterns, choosing material, and tips on completing your project. It's definitely more for people who have sewing experience and maybe some experience making patterns.
