MANNISH STYLE
Mannish Style – available at the workroom
This is my current favourite Japanese Dress book. Firstly, it has a fantastic title that makes me smile every time I read it. The full title on the book is ‘She has a mannish style’. I am feeling this mannish style right now!
What I love about this book is that it strays from the typical sweet tunics and dresses you find in most Japanese Dress books. It’s great to see some variation in the styling. There are some super cool drapey tops and vestlets that look like they will be fun to make. I’m looking through my stash to figure out what fabric will work for one of the dresses. It will be one of the 13 projects I hope to work on over the long weekend. I need more time to sew!

oooh, this one looks really good! I love the ones that are more simple and less full of ruffles.
i am so mesmerized by those collared fancy suspenders!!!!
Oh my goodness, is that a whole page dedicated to different detachable collars? I just did a post on my plans to make one:
