Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Introducing our Spring 2008 collection - Paper Fashions Fancy. This season it's all about glamour. We've designed a brand new set of patterned and colored papers, including some with glitter, foil, and velvety black flocking. There's a new selection of seed beads, sequins, ribbon, and more than a hundred sticky-back "jewels" for embellishing the fashions. And, of course, the tiny wire hangers are back - this time we include clever ideas for decorating those hangers to make them gown-worthy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Red Carpet HOT!!!, May 1, 2008

By	S. Wolfchild "~*Spirit*~" (transitive) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The answer to your question is YES! You want this! You need this!! You gotta have this book right now!!!
For those of you who have the first Paper Fashions from which, there's no denying, you could get evening and wedding gowns out of, Paper Fashions Fancy is especially for all those Prom Queen nights and red carpet gala events, and let me tell you, the shoes are so much yummier in this one and there are tiara stencils!! Likewise, you can get fabulous daywear from the Fancy one too, and combining the two books-well, by the time I'm done, I'll probably need walk-in closets just for my teeny paper creations!! Endless possiblities just got more endless!!
For those of you who haven't yet discovered the delights of the original Paper Fashions, why not? Just kidding! It's not necessary to have both-just very highly recommended!!

Okay, so with this book you get;
*3 packs of sequins, beads and a sheet of sticky gems
*ribbons-5 little bundles this time, and gold thread too
*all new paper-it's brighter, printier (new word!), sparklier and includes a sheet of printed vellum and flocked paper too (like velvet)
*there's a cute little tube of pva glue and of course, 20 tiny hangers!
*there are 3 pages of soft plastic stencils that feature everything you need-new tops and skirts (that you combine to make dresses) and accessories, like Jackie O type hats, and dress trains, little evening bags and even the A-list must have, shades!
*there are clear, easy to understand instructions with diagrams, on using the stencils, scissor tips, gluing tips and plenty of examples throughout to jumpstart your own stylin' creativity!
*there are even tips about using color, patterns and creating sketch and inspiration books!

Basically, it's everything the first Paper Fashions is only even better~the artwork, the photographs, the works! The Klutz folk have really upped their game on this, and that's saying a lot, because the first one is fantastic! Extras in this one include ideas on decorating the hangers, making tiny necklaces and most importantly, a tutorial on RUFFLES!

Again, I reiterate that even though these books are aimed at female population, there's no reason any guys who like to design womenswear shouldn't get this too-you should! Some of the best womenswear designers are men!
Agewise, it's suitable for ages 8 and up, and by up, people, don't just get one for your kids or grandkids! If it sounds fun to you, go ahead and get one for yourself! I did, and I'm happy as a lark!

5.0 out of 5 stars All the Five Star Reviews say it all -- This is GREAT!!, July 16, 2008

By	J. Arena (Williamsburg, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is a treasure-trove of the coolest stuff for kids, tweens, teens and even playful adults who love paper crafts, design, paper dolls, and anything and everything to do with fashion. What everyone is saying is absolutely true. You must purchase this for the fashion maven in your household (even if it's you!!) because there's so much fun here I'm surprised it's not illegal, immoral or fattening!

If you're going to be purchasing a birthday or holiday gift for someone who'd love Paper Fashions Fancy, I suggest you snag it now, because when word gets out about how really great it is, it may sell out! It's absolute perfection for the fashion fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mom of girls..., May 3, 2008

By	Lisochka "Lisochka" (Maine ~ Vacationland) - See all my reviews

My 7-yr old daughter LOVES this craft book. It's kept her entertained for hours. Just too bad we couldn't bring scissors on the plane for spring break, or she would've done it then too.
Thanks!
