Its full of cute tunic tops and dresses all photographed beautifully and brought to you by the same people of girly style wardrobe
designs range from simple tunics to wear with jeans or leggings to the fancy tunic dress
pattern sheets are included at the back of the book and come in sizes 7, 9, 11 and 13 with all patterns designed for a height of 160cm which suits my 157cm stature perfectly. The size 13 has a bust measurement of 93cm, waist 74cm, hips 98cm to give you an idea of measurements which I think is about an australian size 10 but please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm just going by what I wear and measure (i.e. currently larger than this but normally a 10). But these aren't figure hugging designs and I'll be adding a few cms here and there and come back to you with the results.

i have loved your blog for awhile now - its an everyday visit for me!
thanks so much for visiting my blog :)
I bought this book after seeing some of the creations members of the "Japan Couture Addicts" web site. I made the "N" dress for my niece and she loved it. It was easy to make as well. The hardest part was choosing the size. I ended up cutting the size large and then changing my mind and stitching it up as a size medium. It fit my niece perfectly.
Oh I love this book...I want it. ThinkI'm going to have to organise myself a copy. Thanks!
I do have this book and it's marvellous!
I've made already a complete dress and a inspired top from a book's dress. and I know I am not finished :)

thank you thank you!!

Thanks so much for the heads up on the sizings of the stylish dress book. I saw it in the hands of a girl at my local fabric store and just had to have it. The crazyness of it all is that I've just come back from a holiday in Japan and didn't spot it there! I'm 170cm and a 12/14 but can easily adjust the pattern to suit. THANKS! And if anyone is going to Japan and would like info on where to go for fabric/beads/trimmings in Tokyo, I would love to help out. Their beads and buttons are AMAZING...
Hello,
I've discover your blog via Moonstiches - some of your craft places are just amazing! Too bad I live too far away from Japan...
I have a lot of japanese sewing books. If you want to have more information on these books, I am part of a joint common blog about japanese sewing - lots of daily feedbacks interesting to read! However, it is in french... Have fun!
