Review:

"Boundless Style is another great modular dressmaking book. Kristiann walks you through all of the steps and techniques you need to make the perfect dress: fitting, pattern adjustments, sewing tools, and different hand sewing and machine sewing techniques." --Pattern Review

"So much thought has been put into designing these bodices, sleeves and skirts so that any bodice will line up correctly with any skirt type and any sleeve type.  It must have been an incredible labor of love. Kristiann's immense design talent and patience for precision really shine in that regard... Not only are Kristiann's instructions clear and straightforward but also incredibly thorough.  Finishing techniques and expert garment sewing techniques are included all throughout." --A Happy Stitch

"When you add the fact that Kristiann is a masterful stylist and designer, the result is a truly exciting and inspiring sewing book that should appeal to makers of all skill levels." --Closet Case Files
