Synopsis

Bold & Beautiful is a bespoke collection of clothing separates designed for mixing and matching. Each piece incorporates flowing, elegant lines that skim the body to create a bold, dramatic and flattering silhouette. The designs of Habibe Acikgoz suit all ages, taking as they do elements of traditional dress from the Ottoman empire and using them to embellish garments which appeal to women around the world. This book shows how these beautiful clothes are as easy to make as they are to wear - patterns can be printed out in the relevant size from the CD, and the straightforward step-by-step instructions can be followed in the book. Chapter one offers inspirational ideas on how to combine the clothes you have made to create stunning outfits. Chapter two describes how to make the garments, with easy-to-follow instructions. Chapter three offers a step-by-step guide to the techniques you will need. The final chapter contains scaled down versions of all the pattern pieces for each garment.
