Actually a really fun book especially if you like late 80s/early 90s style. It's a collection of loose fitting, coordinating patterns that will make up a capsule wardrobe of sorts, easily adaptable and able to be personalized. Enjoyable to look through for the retro feel but patterns are also still relevant if you like the loose fit, casual style.

Disclaimer: I haven't actually *made* anything using this book, so I have no idea what the quality of the patterns are. But I love to browse it; it inspires me to stick with simple classic long-lasting clothes rather than to jump into the latest craze that'll look dated before the garment wears out.
