I love this book!! I bought it on the advice of someone in the cyber sewing community and must say that it is fab. It explains how to adjust a basic sloper pattern for darts, gathers, different sleeves, different necklines. It is excellent value for money. Though the drawings and certain of the fashions are perhaps a little dated, the techniques can easily be adjusted. And an awful lot of those fashions are... you guessed it, back in fashion. Especially the stuff from the 80s! I have so far just been reading but absolutely cannot wait to get a roll of pattern paper out and get slashing and spreading. Buy this book!

This is an excellent book about how to alter pre-made patterns or your own personalise slopers. This book DOES NOT show or tell you how to make patterns or slopers from scratch! It does however tell you WHAT to do with your slopers and how to alter ready-made patterns in orders of dart control, alterations of necklines and other style alterations.

I absolutely love this book, I rented it from the library and after reading a good many books this is by far THE most helpful. It tells you why you do thinks and sometimes i am thinking a question in my head and the next paragraph answers that very question! Reads brilliantly, drawings are super helpful, just a fantastic book, can't wait to buy my own copy!!!!!!!
