Summary
Coco Chanel, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly ... Each of these women had an influential take on the most classic wardrobe staple of all - the Little Black Dress. In this chic sewing book, patternmaker Dolin Bliss O'Shea pulls inspiration from famous LBDs throughout history - including Mary Quant's mod mini, a classic wrap dress worn by Liza Minelli, Princess Diana's smart A-line and more - and offers patterns for reinterpreted versions that are perfectly stylish for today's sensibilities. With a primer on sewing techniques, patterns, vintage photographs of style icons and full-colour shots of the finished garments, Famous Frocks: The Little Black Dress has everything sewists need to bring vintage fashion right to their closets.
