I just received this book, but already I'm excited, ready to make something, because true to its title, these garments and accessories are quite romantic in style. Best yet, they are gauged up to a fairly generous size, so that curvy women can indulge their romantic side as well! Being a 2x myself, this delights me, because I'm not going to have to gauge up a pattern that only goes to a Large, as so many knitting books stop there. And not all the patterns are as form-fitting as the skirt on the cover, either, so ladies, no need to worry that there won't be anything in here that will look good on your figure if you are curvier than average through the bottom. :-) Ms Modesitt also says that she tries to put in at least one place in each garment where you can easily 'knit to desired length' so that you can adjust the length of garments to suit yourself, w/o struggling with a lot of pattern alterations. The only other place I've seen so many garments that appeal to my romantic nature, in generous sizes, has been White Lies Designs (on the web), so this book is a keeper for me!

This book has beautiful photos, but the patterns are not as pretty. The best one is called Casablanca, and the hats are nice too. Those are really the only nice things that I can say about this book. Most of the designs seem to be out dated. The book itself is very pretty to look at, but the projects are not.

This pattern has some nice designs in it, but the bulk of them I probably wouldn't wear, and wear-ability is key! Nice eye candy.
