I can't remember the name of it in English now, something like "Cotton Clothes", I'll see if I can find it translated somewhere. As with all these kinds of books, the instructions are in Japanese, but if you have sewing experience then they're not hard to decipher and they tend to be pretty simple patterns to begin with. From what I can figure from the measuring guide the sizes are small (bust 76cm, hips 84cm), M (82,88) and L (90,94) and the styles lend themselves to slimmer-figured women which is why I've never made anything from it. I love the way they look but most of them would make me look like the back end of a bus with the biggest bust ever! I love the clothes around at the moment but they so don't suit curvy women, can't wait until fashion swings back my way! Photos open to bigger versions if you click on them.
If you're interested in the book leave a comment with a way to contact you and of course there will be international shipping. And if you'd like an extra entry just blog about the give away and let me know in a separate comment (this seems to be the in thing for give-aways at the moment and who am I to buck the trend?). I will leave it open for a week and will draw on morning of Saturday the 9th NZ time.My in-laws arrive for my graduation tomorrow and I'm losing my desk and regular internet connection for a few days, hence the blogging vacation. Hopefully my old laptop will hold up to a few wireless connections but I'll probably be playing hostess with the mostess and that doesn't really lend itself to surreptitious blogging. Ok, back to the cleaning frenzy!
