What I'm not sure I see is you in that jacket, because of the collar. I notice you don't wear a lot of things with collars. Might be a nice change, like the V-neck dresses?JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-55441172231214696062010-08-04T23:03:43.408-04:002010-08-04T23:03:43.408-04:00I see myself like that all the time...

Of couse, the BF tells me regularly that I spend too much time near that river in Egypt....I ignore him...<br /><br />I had to wear and suit and panty hose for very important meeting yesterday. It's a 3 piece linen/rayon blend that is lined in polyester. Thought I was going to pass out from heat stroke - the stuff doesn't breathe!! DC is way too hot this time of year to be wearing a suit like that. I will not be lining my clothing with polyester.....<br /><br />KarenKaren in VAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116552037695197434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-12761474226551857272010-08-04T14:01:19.363-04:002010-08-04T14:01:19.363-04:00I call it reverse anorexia.

It's confidence - you know that you don't have to be tall and skinny to look fabulous (and thank goodness for that because most of us don't look anything like that drawing on the pattern envelope). Both the dress and the bolero jacket are lovely, classic styles that, made right, would suit anyone.Eugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584571701550775408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-30456117441517233692010-08-04T01:23:34.034-04:002010-08-04T01:23:34.034-04:00Thats the good thing about having lots of sewing e...Thats the good thing about having lots of sewing experience, we can see beyond these unrealistic drawings and look at the lines of the pattern.

Delusional, right?"<br /><br />No indeed. No no no. The truth is goddess sized or approaching goddes size women, need clothing that fits. <br /><br />I believe that you are looking at a misleading, inconsequential pictorial and, RIGHTLY, realizing it's potential for women WITH SHAPE and curves.<br /><br />Can't hardly wait to see what you do with this interesting outfit.sdBevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631048121680395678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-11607024421995208522010-08-03T22:40:16.633-04:002010-08-03T22:40:16.633-04:00Not delusional, you have a vision!Not delusional, you have a vision!Big in Japanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12646004059769944464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-71325473255745440632010-08-03T22:33:25.948-04:002010-08-03T22:33:25.948-04:00No, I don't believe you are delusional.
