### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The DVD is a really good assistant to the book provided you can use it fully.
  

*by S***9 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 July 2020*

It is a good collection of key techniques. They are explained simply and clearly, especially the part of the DVD I can access.The DVD appears to be faulty. I cannot get past bound buttonholes. I will try sorting it out with some special DVD cleaner and restorer.  It is really annoying as the bit I particularly wanted is currently inaccessible. It was in a thick plastic DVD case so I would have thought it should have been well protected.Update:I bought a Hama repair kit for DVDs and followed the instructions carefully. Sadly now I cannot watch any of it!!

    I too can now sew couture!
  

*by G***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 August 2014*

This book has an excellent DVD clearly showing all the wonderful couture techniques.  The book then has photos as reminders of what is detailed on the DVD and good narrative instructions as reminders.  Claire Shaeffer explains it all very well.  I am very much a novice (been sewing just a few months), but I'm a quick learner and my first garment was a fitted shirt.  I was so pleased with this book that I have just ordered Claire's other book on sewing a Chanel style jacket which I am keen to start. I have already started doing so much more basting and hand finishing since I read this book instead of jumping straight on the machine. I recommend this book to a sewer at any level.  It's for someone who is more interested in getting a professional finish rather than finishing something super-quick. I can't wait for her book on the couture skirt to come out next year.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not a complete tailoring book.
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 September 2020*

Nice book, however it is missing some vital elements of tailoring. I was hoping for instruction on collars and lapels, pad stitching, cuffs etc. If you want a complete tailoring book this is not the one for you.
