    About this ebook

    Vintage Looks Meet Modern Fashion
    Dior’s New Look silhouette. Jackie Kennedy’s sheath dress. Madonna’s bustier. Fashion trends come and go, but certain iconic styles never fade. Make them for yourself with BurdaStyle’s new guide to sewing fashion through the decades. Five adaptable master patterns for tops, dresses, and pants are transformed into nineteen unique projects for both women and men that draw inspiration from key fashion moments. These influential looks—from the Roaring Twenties to the Awesome Eighties—are all modernized and reinterpreted for today’s sewing enthusiasts.
     
    BurdaStyle, the world’s largest online community of people who sew, is synonymous with stylish sewing and high-quality patterns. In this follow-up to The BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook, they provide step-by-step instructions and techniques for customizing the enclosed master patterns into new design variations, all perfectly fitted for you. You’ll also get a taste of fashion history—the essential designers, signature trends, and style icons from each era—to help you channel your inner Coco Chanel, Audrey Hepburn, or Yves Saint Laurent.
     
    BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern combines the best of fashion from the past with an updated approach to sewing. Whether you prefer a slim-fit pant, the perfect men’s button-down, or a versatile shift dress, this book offers a classic collection that will last you a lifetime.

      Book comes with 5 base patterns (in an envelope at the back) which can be altered to make 20 different garments: 5 dresses, 2 men's shirts and a man's jacket, 8 tops, two pairs of pants, bloomers, and a petticoat. Chapters cover various time periods, usually two decades, so the first chapter is the 1920s to 1930s. Two pages on the look of each decade, and instructions on making garments from that era. Pattern instructions are fairly extensive, with diagrams as well as written instructions. Fashion illustrations for the book are not particularly good. Fashion photography makes the garments look attractive. Good selection of different garments (although oddly no skirts).

      nonfiction; advanced sewing. I didn't find this very helpful--the projects were mostly just ok, and each seemed to require dozens of alterations to the basic patterns included (without that much in way of instructions)--so much so that it seemed easier for one to just draft her own patterns from scratch, and if one were in fact up to that level of advanced stitchery, I'm not sure one would bother with this book. I didn't mind browsing the overview of the decades (signature silhouettes and designer influences, etc.) but found an evening flipping through this borrowed library book was sufficient--it definitely does not warrant purchasing. There were a few sewing patterns for men included, but they were more or less variations of your basic button down (with ruffles, tuxedo-style, or with a nehru collar).
