Review: Comprehensive and logical introduction to drafting your own clothes using the freehand method. - I have the kindle version of this book, it's is very good value and as an experienced seamstress with a strong interest in drafting my own patterns I really liked her logical mathematical approach. I also loved the maxi wrap dress featured in the book as well as most of the other designs featured in this book. The instructions look clear and the book in general is very well executed. However, the proof is in the sewing and as I haven't sewn up anything yet using these instructions, I can't comment on that aspect of the book. As soon as I draft and sew something I will update my review, but based on first impressions, I think it's excellent and complements my other books on pattern drafting very well.
Review: Excellent book - This book is excellent. It's apparent that the last reviewer made a mistake by giving this book only one star. I first heard of Chinelo Bally from watching recordings of the "Great British Sewing Bee" season 2 on Youtube. Unfortunately almost all of the episodes have been deleted but you can still find them online. Anyhow, this book teaches you how to design your own clothing without a pattern. She gives a number of projects to start you off with that are based on your own measurements and preferences. For instance, you get to select the fabric, how long or short it will be, etc. You do take a lot of measurements, but that's what helps you to get a good fit. But the real gem in the book is that it teaches you the principles of how to take a design that you have in your head and create it to fit your own body.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Couture technique overview
*by K***E on May 29, 2016*

I really like this book. This technique is what I'd call a "trade" method of producing clothing - if you are a tailor or seamstress who has random customers walking in your shop and telling you they need a dress for tonight, this is how you get it done. Many places in the world get all their clothes done this way. I think this is a fantastic method to stretch an experienced sewist's skill set or an adventurous beginner to start out with. I only gave 4 stars because I think you will need other books as reference along with this one, like a flat pattern reference and a sewing reference.
