It’s hard to imagine any wedding detail that could have escaped inclusion in the pages of Weddings for Dummies. How to build a chuppah, how to anchor a comb in the bride’s hair, who dances with whom and when–everything you ever wanted to know about getting hitched is right here. Fortunately, Marcy Blum and Laura Fisher Kaiser aren’t afraid to give an opinion or two (there’s a list of “Ten Tacky Temptations We Beg You to Resist”), but most of the information is entirely nonjudgmental. It’s best to have a much-married older sister plan your wedding, but if you have to do it yourself, this is the perfect book to tell you how.

Writes Deckert, “The goal of all plus-size design is to emphasize your positive attributes and modify or distract from those you feel are less desirable.” Deckert is herself a plus-sized woman and a custom clothier with more than 30 years of sewing experience. Given that most clothing manufacturers have never learned to design attractive, well-fitting clothes for women who wear a size 14 or larger, the woman who wants to achieve style beyond size must sew her own clothes. This book will make that task less formidable. Illustrated with photos of plus-sized models, including the author herself, this book emphasizes analyzing pattern designs based on individual figure proportions and working effectively wit (more…)
