Looking at proportions and the Kors pic in particular I wonder if a slightly smaller width lace might flatter your waistline more. It seems to be overwhelming Kerry a bit as well. Just something to consider if you make this pattern again.ParisGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808620060144089897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-4201240798867176372013-09-10T03:57:28.258-04:002013-09-10T03:57:28.258-04:00You look fabulous in red!
