I just received this book in the mail and I am so excited! It is not a typical sewing book. Built By Wendy , by Wendy Mullin , is written for anyone who wants to create dresses that are unique. Wendy gives you 3 style of dresses; the sheath dress, shift dress and dirndl dress. The pattern templates do not have seam allowances but that is so that you can create more designs with them. These pattern temples are called slopers. Designers use slopers to create new dress designs. Wendy also shows you how to create 25 different dresses but you will have to draft some of the extra pieces of the dress. When I think of the slopers, the lines are the seams. After reading through the book I realized that I have been creating these basic dress designs all a long. Here are just a few examples. You might have these sewing patterns too. ✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄ The Shift Dress Laurel by Colette Patterns This is the shift dress with a couple darts along the back panels. ✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄...
