I thought this book was well written, even if it is supposedly for kids. It was full of information, pictures, and interesting trivia. As a free-lance writer and researcher of the Twenties, it’s a good book to have in one’s personal library!

I found this book to be well writen and researched. The illustrations were great, and very inspiring. I can’t wait to try and sew some of these fashions myself. The historical aspects of the Fashions of the 1940s was very informative.

I borrowed this book along with the other volumes (1940 to 1970 )from my library. This was exactly what I need for my assignment of different body types and the power of non verbal communication. It was very interesting and would recommend buying. This book was outstanding!
Review by Mallory Whitfield for Fashion Unraveled – How to Start, Run and Manage an Independent Fashion Label

The author covers everything from defining who your customer is and developing a brand identity to all of the parts of production: fabric sourcing, making patterns and samples, grading for different sizes, and how to get your designs produced. She also covers business basics that are essential to any design business like marketing, sales, and finance. She even points out the need to think about what your exit strategy would be. One of the most useful things about this book is the fact that the author has provided forms and examples for all of the stages of your design business. She even includes a full sample business plan (from her own business, minus some financial specifics). One of the other things I liked about this book were interviews with other independent designers about specific business topics and their experiences. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking to delve into the world of launching and running your own independent fashion label.

Jennifer Lynne has done an excellent job simplifying all the imperative processes and details that would help one establish their fashion label and business. I have this book and I found it very helpful and full of practical tips. I love how she has included worksheets for costing, pricing, branding, NDAs, financial projections, press releases… taking all the perplexity away.

This is a must read for anyone considering starting out in “the business”. The experiences, lessons and amazing list of resources the author generously shares is priceless.
As a seasoned operations manager (not in the fashion industry) I found the business ops guidelines better explained than most of the “stuffy” guides I’ve painstakingly read to their bitter ends.
The author successfully provides a clear and comprehensive road map for the beginner- from introducing and coaching the reader through the initial creative briefs, costing merchandise, to the realities of having and how to plan an exit strategy.
