Grand Street 50: Models (Fall 1994)

Customer Reviews:

Excellent book!!!.......2007-05-14

This is a great book for seamstresses with some experience(I think it would be too hard for beginners.It would be good if you have some comprehenesion on sizing(drafting patterns yourself for example)but that isn't even necessary.I think it would be easier though:)

Frances Grimble gives clear instructions for changing patterns to size and even to different body shapes(large bust, short back etc.
You do need to take some time for this, but well, you'll have an authentic pattern in your hands, how great is that?;)And there are so many in this book! I was having a very hard time finding real historical patterns in The Netherlands(so far found one french journal from 1902)and I feel like a kid in a candystore now.:)I <3 this book already.

You can make a complete outfit, from undergarments to overgarments.

If you have some sewing experience and you love this period it is really a great book!

Amazon's service is excellent too. It didn't take very long for the item to arrive(from US to the Netherlands)(with one step faster shipping, expidited?)it was even a lot faster then the estimated arrival time.

Fashions of the Gilded Age, Volume 1: Undergarments, Bodices, Skirts, Overskirts, Polonaises, and Day Dresses 1877-1882.......2006-08-16

This book is wonderful. I believe I own every book Frances Grimble has written and anxiously await more. The variety of patterns is amazing and allows the experienced sewer to create their own designs from various components, like sleeves and collars. This sure beats trying to decipher the patterns in an original 1890's issue of Harpers!

as good as all the other Frances Grimble books.......2006-03-22

This book contains patterns for the following:
corsets, hoopskirts and bustles (some)
underclothing and negligee wear (quite a few)
day and evening skirts (only about four)
day bodices (quite a few)
evening bodices (some)
overskirts (some)
polonaises (some)
day dresses (quite a few)

some = around ten
quite a few = over 20

I would recommend this book for anyone who likes victorian costuming. It not only works as a pattern book, but as a source book, having lots of pictures you can use for reference. Even if you just look through it, it really can help you understand the styles of that era.

What An Excellent Book!!.......2005-01-13

The pictures and descriptions within the book are an excellent reference if you are researching and intending on recreating one of these beautiful designs. Advanced knowledge of sewing skills is a must for those who wish to recreate these (definantly not for the novice sewer). Frances Grimble, you've done it again. Please keep them coming. I will buy every book you put out.

Wow!.......2004-09-29

There's just so MUCH material in this book--so many pictures and patterns and so many pages of hard-to-find information. Women's styles of the period were intricate, with separate bodices, overskirts, and skirts, or with polonaises (a bodice with the overskirt attached) and skirts. This book separates patterns for bodices, skirts, overskirts, and polonaises to mix and match however you want. It also gives patterns for whole dresses, but you can mix their components too.

There are far more patterns for EVERYTHING than I've ever seen anywhere else. There were many, many ways of cutting and draping an overskirt or a polonaise. In this book it's amazing to see fashion plates of overskirts that look similar in the plates, but the cut and drape shown by the pattern pieces is quite different. There are even 19 patterns for chemises.

This book will keep me busy for a long time!

Customer Reviews:

amazing series.......2007-01-19

i had to hunt this volume down but i was so glad i found it. it was worth every penny (which btw was cheaper than buying it in a store). its one of my favorite series to date and ive read it at least 5 times. if your thinking about one tei' then buy it now! if you need a new manga then buy it now!

A GREAT BOOK!.......2005-08-10

Onigai(please) teacher was a very good book and when i got it in the mail it was in great condition. You see when i got onigai teacher vol. 1 i didn't know there was a vol. 2 but then when i went on amazon and typed in onigai teacher it show me that there were two vols. and i was so excited and now i have both vols. and i love them sooooooo much! i love to reread the book all the time because it is sooooo GREAT!You would love this book too if u got it. (but i love it more!)

a disappointing ending.......2003-12-22

I wasn't satisfied with the way this series wound up. First they had to postulate an alien race _and_ an unknown disease just to set up a situation that would throw the lead characters together.

Having set up a relationship, they basically ended with series without resolving it, and used the mythical disease as a metaphor for something else.

Lots of series need a "hook" to bring the main characters together; but I want a story to move on from there. This seemed stuck in the early stages until it abruptly ended.

Charming.......2003-08-17

In the last volume, Kei met a fine young lady named Mizuho who was just not only his homeroom teacher, but also an alien from another galaxy. After a quick shuffle of chance, these two started a budding relationship with each other. Well in this volume, love is questioned when Kei's friends reveals feelings for each other and well, someone may also become an obstacle between Kei's and Mizuho's love for each other. Things dig even deeper as Kei fights a powerful flashback which was the cause for the 3 years Kei experienced in stagnation. Things get a lot more serious in the second and LAST volume for this charming series... so be sure to check it out.

Despite the fact that the teacher and student relationship situation is a bit cliché, when it comes to Onegai Teacher, it has this sort of charm you can't find anywhere else. The relationship between Mizuho and Kei is both serious and cute at the same time. They experience the pain and hardships like any other relationship would go through... but in the end, the happiness they bring benefits both of them. It's the type of relationship that'll last forever, and its bonds would definitely be hard to sever. In any case, for anyone who is interested in romance, Onegai Teacher is definitely the type of title to pick up. The 2nd volume of the series is focused on their relationship as they go through some hard times. Since the first volume mostly served as an introduction, this one quickly wrapped it (the relationship) up but managed to give the reader some closure at the same time.

Anyway, the characters from Onegai Teacher fit the story perfectly well. Each character plays some sort of role that is significant to the story. Although the story is mostly based on Mizuho and Kei, Kei's friends also play specific roles in the story. Each of them has different personalities but they all blend together perfectly well. Without these characters, it just wouldn't be Onegai Teacher.

As for the artwork, even though it's fairly conventional, Ms. Mizuho will definitely be a memorable character. The character designs from Onegai Teacher are fairly simple but they all look charming. The panels are very easy to follow. The toning is well done and well, yeah the artwork fits the story perfectly well.

Now as for the translation, this webmaster was pretty much satisfied with ComicsOne's job on Onegai Teacher. The 2nd volume is mostly free of errors despite the little "loose ~ lose" error on page 96. The cover is both appealing and has some zing to it. The material used for the cover is pretty good too. The only complaint I have is the yellow paper being used for Onegai Teacher. Somewhere down the line, this paper is going to disintegrate fairly quickly. All in all, ComicsOne gets a passing grade on translating and releasing this title.

In conclusion, it's a shame that Onegai Teacher ended so quickly but then that way, it doesn't drag out the situation any longer. So for just ... or less, you can grab the first and second volume from this delightful series... anyway, be sure to pick it up because it's a really amusing relationship between the hot teacher and the young student.

Great gift for a new graduate.......2007-04-24

Great book. I found this book is much more practical than many other related books. It contains countless specific tips and steps you can take. And as a previous review notes, there are plenty of books on how to land a job, but this is the rare one that tells you how to excel once you have the job. Very readable, valuable, practical and even humorous at times. The last thing I'll mention is that I like the way the author drew on interviews from a number of sources. I'm suspicious of books that tout the approach of just one successful individual. I might not be like that individual. I find the interview approach much better because it identifies common themes and approaches that have worked for a range of people.

Accuracy of the book reflected in the cover image........2007-02-16

The content of the book is accurate and new. But, most of all it is practical.

The major focus is on attitude and doing good work. Between these two focuses you will do great. The book explains how to maintain and brand yourself with an attitude, while also providing the tricks of the trade in doing good work. The book is simple and straight forward. There is very little B.S.

I am at the beginning my career and have seen great results so far. After reading the book, I have given to a colleague and to a friend. Both have enjoyed it and wish they had read it earlier in their careers.

A 'bible' every new hire needs to make the most of a new position........2007-02-09

Numerous guides cover how to land a job - but few focus on how to succeed as a new hire. From New Recruit to High Flyer covers everything from project and people management to understanding office structure and relationships, providing real-life examples from those who have succeeded as new hires. Common pitfalls and how to overcome them are included in a 'bible' every new hire needs to make the most of a new position.

Great advice for anybody with ambition and will to grow.......2006-11-24

This book has been great and it is helping me a lot. Even though I have started my career some years ago I am still missing some key points. The fact that the author is not only giving his own advice, but he is using the best bits and pieces from people that went to Harvard. I guess that quite a few of these are really intelligent and ambitious guys.

Topics that are covered are how to get the right attitude every day at work, how to be systematic in your approach to your career, how to develop the right tools for doing research, how to write and speak effectively, and how to communicate in different situations, and other three important topics that are hard to address when you are just starting in the business world: networking, mentoring, and politics.

If you don't think you know it all get this book it will have a possitive return on investment!

Product Description

This is a HUMAN RESOURCES RESEARCH ORGANIZATION ALEXANDRIA VA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A185173. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The senior leadership of the Army realizes the important role values play in the Army. Values allow the operating norms and rules of the Army to become meaningful, stable, positive; and hence, capable of being internalized. In the past, the Army has collected data on the values of active duty soldiers. However there is only limited knowledge of the values new recruits bring to the Army or their relationship to the seven core values-Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage-emphasized by the Army leadership. In this effort, these core and other values were assessed among entering Active Army recruits so as to establish the basis for tracking soldier values from initial entry training through the first tour of duty.

Thorough, informative, interesting.......1999-10-24

I'm in a band who is currently being produced be Ed Stasium. The other day he excitedly told us he was featured in a new book put out by Billboard. I thought it was cool that he was being recognized. Today he brought the book into the studio and I spent three hours looking through it. Once I got past the thrill of finding people I'd met and even seeing my own band's name (Skypark, listed under the Nicolo brothers)I continued to find more and more fascinating things. This book is definitely worth checking out.

living history...a must for all music lovers.......1999-09-22

Hats off to everyone involved in this project. It's about time some more attention was paid to record producers. If you're addicted to VH1's 'Behind The Music' then you'll love this book.

Comprehensive guide to record producers and discographies.......1999-07-29

This book is for anyone who has even the slightest interest in what goes on behind the scenes in the music business. Great stories from the men and women who helped make music history. I loved being able to read about how some of my favorite music was made and what went into the process of it's creation, from both the producer and the artists prospective. The writing in this well-researched encyclopedia is clever, thought-provoking, and oft-times quite funny. Great reading and reference for music writers, or the public at large.

Don't Waste Your Time & Money.......2007-05-02

You've got other places to spend your money. Don't waste it on this "Glossary" of nothing new under the sun. What no one ever tells you about investing in real estate--believe me, you've probably heard it before.

anecdotal, pointless, somewhat entertaining.......2007-04-22

If you're looking for a book that offers insider tips and advice to help you become a successful real estate investor then stop- This is not the right book for you.

If you're looking to be entertained, and read anecdotal stories from real estate investors then this might be worth a read. I'm not saying there isn't some value contained inside this book. But it's similar to the value in a fable. You read a 4-5 page story, and in the end you get a one sentence moral.

Overall this wasn't the book for me, I found it totally useless and wouldn't recommend it to anyone seeking a serious book on real estate investing.

Worthless.......2006-03-11

Not much substance here, just a collection of 'stories' from other people. Money is best spent elsewhere with an author who has actually done real estate deals, not just collect stories from others.

what no one ever tells you about investing in real estate, 101 sucess stories by R. Shemin.......2005-09-11

What a waste of my money, stories of sucesses and failures of a Real Estate salesman, how boring! Buy something else or save your money!

Not worth the money.......2005-09-03

I did not feel this book provided anything that the new real life entry level investor needs.I thought this would be informative information that would have real value, but instead got a collection of stories. It was like a collection of stories to help the investors that have already made it, but not the real stories to prevent the everyday small investor from making the entry level mistakes.
