Reviews

Library Journal

Handmade accessories add a special touch to the wedding day and are a great saving on expenses. Johnson, a professional seamstress of custom bridal dresses and accessories, provides information on wedding materials and projects including decorated bags, gloves, and table ornaments. Projects are graded by difficulty, and many involve embellishments to purchased items such as shoes. Excellent photographs of each step enable prospective brides inexperienced in this type of work to have professional-looking results. Highly recommended for public libraries.
