I've only been using a sewing machine for about a year and a half. I really want to learn how to make great vintage style dresses that are cut to flatteringly fit me.

I am most definitely NOT experienced at couture style sewing but I would love to learn how to sew more fitted garments, including but not limited to zippers, bound buttonholes, etc... :) Would be extremely happy to win this book as getting a copy of it where I live (Middle East, Israel) is extremely difficult and my parents aren't keen on letting me buy things from the internet, which has been making it very difficult to access good sewing books. (Our local bookstores usually don't hold anything sewing related, and if they do, it's usually old copies of BurdaStyle in Russian. I enjoy the pictures, although I have yet to understand the text.) I just wanted to add that I've really been enjoying this blog and all the tutorials I have learned so much from. Thank you! :) I started sewing about a year ago and it’s been fun.
