“This is my book about fashion, love, and tadpoles. My journey in writing this book took me to the archives of the V&A and into my brother’s (Chris Packham) underpants drawer – discovering the secrets behind our sartorial choices whilst weaving in my own tales of a life in the world of fashion and beyond. Its personal, honest and hopefully like a well-designed dress – it will inspire.” – Jenny Packham 

In this inspiring and evocative memoir, How To Make A Dress, Jenny explores the secrets of great style and documents a career filled with exquisite clothes. Whether she’s on the trail of Marilyn Monroe’s old clothes in LA, designing a bespoke piece for the red carpet or sketching for a new collection, Jenny is always in search of the eternal truths of style: what does it mean to dress well? How do clothes help shape both identity and culture? And how can they help us live more creative, fulfilled lives?
 
A brilliant meditation on life and fashion, How to Make a Dress is an unforgettable book for anyone who has ever loved a piece of clothing.
