*by D***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 26, 2018*

The book is not very in-depth, doesn't have that many detailed photos of the styles shown in the book. The patterns are also completely useless, those pages could've been used to provide more detailed photos of each piece or include more vintage swimwear! There are also a few grammatical mistakes that should be corrected in next editions.It's still a nice book to have for inspiration but not useful for much else. The author also does a terrible job of describing the swimwear and there are VERY FEW pictures of women and men of the times wearing vintage swimwear. I'm sure I could do a Google search and find more photos than were published in the book. Even Vintage Dancer has more information, images, and historical than the book did.

    Eye Candy For The Sewer
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 4, 2017*

This is a great resource if you are interested in retro sewing. My daughter has done similar adaptations to current patterns and I wish this had been available then. It comes with patterns to the suits but most of them you will have to upside since they are just on graph paper but not to scale.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fantastic book with great
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 20, 2016*

Fantastic book with great, clear pictures and patterns you can enlarge. The pictures are awesome and the info on each outfit is also very helpful. This book is really inspiring and I can't wait to start sewing some of these. I would recommend this book to other seamstresses interested in creating vintage swimwear.
