I am always amazed how wonderful you look when you wear outfits that have light colored pants and skirts. The "darks on the bottom to hide the widest part rule" somehow got engraved in my brain. The piped hem is beautiful and is a great idea for saving a garment when I forget to check the length before cutting it out.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-864645033132909452012-12-15T10:13:38.998-05:002012-12-15T10:13:38.998-05:00Great combo, very elegant.

The time and detail work you put into it really paid off. <br /><br />Makes me want to take a second look at those things I pulled out of my own closet before making that trip to the donation center.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234366085172090247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-11743673545870892412012-12-11T11:45:54.404-05:002012-12-11T11:45:54.404-05:00Hidden presents, can't beat it.
