This is the second book by Oriko Sakura, author of the popular illustration how-to book "Character Design & Drawing Techniques for Fairy Tale Fantasy Girls".
Focusing on costume design, which is Ms. Sakura's strongest area of expertise, the book is divided into sections and parts such as accessories (headdress, earrings, breast ornaments, bags, etc.), upper body parts (collar, sleeves, breast, etc.) and lower body parts (skirt, pants, socks, shoes, etc.) and presents her unique design variations of detailed parts in a catalog-like format. Many patterns are introduced.
To make it easier to visualize, examples of character designs picked up from the catalog are also included. The book also explains how to draw not only designs but also frills, lace, and ribbons.
