"Gr 4-8-Ware as a fashion educator has created the must-have tween fashion handbook that is filled with designer tips, personal challenges, and plenty of DIY ideas. Each page is filled with bright illustrations and images to get readers thinking about color, patterns, texture, glitter, and so much more. Ware offers ideas for revamping tired pieces of clothing by sparking imagination and creativity. She encourages readers to find their style and express themselves through their own getups. Plenty of blank space with styling prompts is left for aspiring fashion designers to let their creativity flow. VERDICT A great DIY fashion handbook for tween nonfiction collections.
