“Not just a guide to sewing clothes such as cigarette pants, flared
skirts, wrap dresses, pinup sweaters, and shift dresses, Hirsch’s
volume explores the fashion landscape of the period as well as the
particular challenges of sewing vintage. The book comes with basic
patterns and instructions for multiple variations.”

“Complete with fun illustrations, great photography, and
step-by-step directions, the author eases readers in with an
illustrated fashion history primer and devotes five chapters to
telling us everything we need to know to rock our attempt to sew a
vintage wardrobe. With thick paper patterns included in a bulging
pack inside the back of cover, this book delivers a massive amount
of value well worth the cover price.”
