I was thrilled to find her lingerie patterns on line because I'm between bra sizes where as one size is too small, but the next size up is too big. What I like about this book is the thoroughness she describes measuring and making the needed adjustments. She describes the various types of fabrics and laces used in bra making.My suggestion to the author is to update her book with directions for making sports bras.

This book was what I expected: a good summary of sewing each kind of lingerie. This book is not for the advanced sewer of lingerie but for someone with minimal to no experience. Good pictures. Good author.

I have used this book more than a dozen times. It's an amazing book. Get it if you need help with lingerie ideas on making lingerie. A little outdated but still a great read.

Have enjoyed reading the book but a little disappointed in the way the boxers are drawn up. Overall I love the book.

Step by step process in sewing lingerie. Beautiful pictures throughout book, easy to read format.

Book is as described by seller.

love the patterns and book by Jan Bones. I especially like the detailed fitting instructions, the scaled patterns, and the tips for fixing the trouble spots.
