Summary: Great Book!
Review: I have had this book for about a year and I just started to try some of the drapes recently and let me tell you something they are SO beautiful. I never imagined that there were so many variations on the sari. There are over 100 in the book and many of them can be reinterpreted to design some of your own. I only gave the book four stars because some of the pictures are unclear. They are all hand drawn by the author. The written instructions are pretty clear and complete so with practice most of the drapes can be perfectly done even if the picture don't help. I suggest that you use this book like a text book. Write notes on it if you have to, mark the pages that you like as well. Now if only the author would write a second book!
