A time comes when every girl needs the perfect party dress. And the best way to get one that makes you look a million—without actually costing a bundle—is to make it! Dressmaker Simon Henry lays out his tried-and-trusted method here, gently guiding even novice stitchers through constructing a body block, fitting a personal pattern, finding and tailoring a style to suit their body shape, and choosing the right fabric. In addition to sewing tips and techniques, there are step-by-step instructions for creating four fabulous dresses.

Simon Henry started to sew, knit, and crochet at the age of nine. A family friend taught him traditional techniques learned in the leading couture houses – skills that Simon still uses and teaches today. He has been designing and making couture wedding gowns, formal wear, and tailored day wear for over thirty years.
