Synopsis
"I understand the design, but I can't figure out the actually how to portray my character in the costume." Many have likely experienced this dilemma when trying to develop a character's costume and reached for a book on fashion as a reference. In this volume, manga characters appear as models, and the book illustrates aspects that serve as fashion points showing the characters in various poses and angles. This volume boasts more than 4,000 images. With this as reference, the reader should be able to design an original costume with ease by combining the collars, sleeves, cuffs, and other dress details provided.

    Shipping was timely and the packaging was good. The item seemed to be missing a couple of pages from the pattern (there were a lot of pages included, though) so other than that, it was as described. When I contacted the seller, they were responsive. They apologized for the mistake and made it right. Overall, I believe it was a good value. So, all this to say, if I saw something I wanted at their store, I would order from Stitching Chicken again. :)

    I have been in Seattle for a few so am slow in getting this out. I'm very impressed with the excellent service I received from stitchingchicken. There was s little mix-up in shipping but that was soon resolved and the shipping went without flaws. Packing was outstanding, and all the yard was as described and expected. The crewel floss was a very good value. Overall I'm very, very happy with the service I received from stitchingchicken. A very good store.

    The needlepoint canvas was just as described. But the customer service was even better! There was a shipping issue on my end and my item was returned to the seller. She promptly shipped it back to me and I was able to receive my order. I appreciate her quick response and timely communication.
