I love sewing, knitting, crocheting(yes, I'm like a grandma... but it's my favorite hobby :-D)...making different types of jewelry and giving them as gifts or donating it to some organizations.... and one of my specialities of sewing are making clothes... to my dogs to even some of my outfit I might be wearing right now... I kind of call myself a fashion nerd... It would be AMAZING if I got this book... me=fashionista / book= fashion/reading... This book has mostly everything I love fashion/reading/writing!!! Fashion has helped us to express our feeling, our mood, the way we think... and it shows what we are... WE ARE ALL UNIQUE... that is why FASHION IS A GREAT AND IMPORTANT CONCEPT... fashion has helped us to realize who we are... and we are what we wear... I would also love to learn about the history of fashion... believe it or not.. history is one of my favorite subjects... and by learning a little bit more of the history of fashion... it could help expand my knowledge and love for fashion... This seems like a very colorful, approachable, amazing, and creative book... and I hope I can win this giveaway :-)..

        This book certainly appeals to me. One of the many reasons is because I love fashion and history and those two together, would probably be even better. I also would love to know about how they chose the "trend" back then, and why; why they chose to wear that, instead of something else. For these reasons, and many many, many more, I would love to have this book.

              This seems like a very interesting book. My dad and I always read these types of books together, and we finished our last one, and we need another to read, and this book seems like something we might enjoy.

                  I am interested in this book because I would like to know what kind of clothes people wore in the old days. Also I would like to know if they wore that because of the rules or because that was the only latest fashion around.
