3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of good ideas, but some frustration also, February 21, 2005

This review is from: Sensational Scarfs: 44 Great Ways to Turn a Scarf into a Fabulous Fashion Look (Paperback)

This is a cute little booklet with a lot of creative ways to wear scarves. It has some photos of live models as well as sketches of the ways to wear scarves with diagrams of how to tie them. BUT in at least one case, the descriptive text doesn't match up with what the diagram shows. And the diagrams aren't always complete enough to fully explain how to tie the scarves. Text alone just doesn't do it. I found myself frustrated and totally unable to recreate one or more of the neck-tie fashions.

1.0 out of 5 stars You can just tell from the title..., December 13, 2006

This review is from: Sensational Scarfs: 44 Great Ways to Turn a Scarf into a Fabulous Fashion Look (Paperback)

Was there no editor around when this went to press? Aside from being irritated throughout this book by its use of the incorrect plural "scarfs", I was also disappointed in the lack of useful information. If you are in the habit of wearing scarves (that's right, SCARVES) you probably already know as much as this book will teach you. The same goes for those who are in the habit of using proper grammar!

Yes, this book was what I ordered, but I expected 44 ways (as in the title) to tie a scarf so that you could wear it around your neck. Yes, it had some of those.... but it also teaches you how to make a bathing suit out of a huge "scarf" and a sarong skirt, etc. I was a little dissappointed that there weren't more ways to wear a scarf..."normally"
