The title is a “fooler”. When I think of “REAL”, I think of people that are NOT model thin and don’t wear a size 2. To me, the real you is someone who wears a size 14 or 16 and carries 10 extra pounds. While not model thin, still someone who is more the typical woman in today’s society. Having said that, JACKETS FOR THE REAL YOU, have four wonderful patterns. One is sized up to a 12, one is sized up to a large and the other two are by bust size up to 49”. All four are styles for the early 21st century. The instructions are written in well spaced, easy to read print with a materials list, gauge and pattern stitch all listed at the beginning of the instructions. There are full color photos of each project with several views of each. Three have zippers and one has buttons for closure and three are hooded while one is not. The last two pages provide general instructions including abbreviations, crochet terminology, yarn weight symbols and names and US/Metric hook sizes along with an explanation of skill levels

Also, I didn't write the book --- I only reviewed it. If you have a problem with the fact that the jackets are designed for those who are sized MORE like a model, please take it up with the author, Cheryl Johnson. The review is only my opinion which is exactly what I am supose to do.
Actually Barbara, you have a great point. Western Culture does not demand burkahs, it demands much more. Some secret sense of how people should be dressed. You are doing a service.
My sister, who is fashion model thin, and wears clothing well had a comment when told she was a pretty as a model. "A model is an imitation of the real thing. And I resent being told I look fake." She had loads of "Atypical" friends.
