So I haven't seen the skirt.<br />I'm thinking that if it were done in a tropical wool or something equally as lightweight and crisp that the silhouette might lie flat enough to be flattering and fun. <br />I'd also be leary of making it in anything that has any degree of bulk at all.<br />I have an idea re the lining - emailing you.Marjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695305834402487163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-66878261525751277472009-11-26T03:58:25.404-05:002009-11-26T03:58:25.404-05:00Those dresses are definitely you!

I have a collection of Burda mags that I've been collecting. It has been more than a year since I last tried a Burda. Tracing the pattern was not as bad as I thought that it was going to be. The cowl neck dress is on my list. I have a modal knit that it will be perfect for.Towandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634494345166387524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-41355334274401651042009-11-25T08:35:05.778-05:002009-11-25T08:35:05.778-05:00I just finished cutting out (no muslin-EEK) the sk...I just finished cutting out (no muslin-EEK) the skirt and adding it to my stack of things to sew. It would be really easy to change your TNT skirt to this style, eliminating any finishing issues.<br /><br />Maybe any accentuating has to do with fabric choice? Won't know until I try it. In the BWOF pattern, the waistband is contoured, so should rest at the waistline and below.meredithphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683287411020125224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-38206064867881879032009-11-25T08:32:19.717-05:002009-11-25T08:32:19.717-05:00Those dresses are definitely you.

BTW I walked into NY Elegant Fabrics on Friday and if you want to make that great jacket in a sequined fabric, it can be yours for $150 a yard, or more depending on what you choose.

She wore it to one of our sewing days (a group of us tries to get together monthly to sew/fit etc) to show us the result, and it was not a flattering look. She knew it and was essentially warning us.<br /><br />This is a very very similar skirt to at least one previous BS issue, from which she made the skirt up.BetsyVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824251716471351275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-78415124021319535652009-11-24T22:55:14.147-05:002009-11-24T22:55:14.147-05:00These dresses definitely look like you!
