If you could snap your fingers and change your style, what would it look like?

I would look like a Chaps model--very Martha's Vineyard old-moneyish look,
simple but classic styles, little jewelry,
long flowing hair, and of course be 30 years younger!

That's easy LOL! Every day of the week I'd like to dress like Erica B and Kim Brown. I'm working on it...

------
Big 4 Pattern size 12, RTW bottom: 6, RTW jacket 8, RTW top (no size fits me well!)
Measurements: 34 HB/36 FB (34C bra)/27.5/36 (and working hard to keep it that way.)
Machines: Sewing (Janome Memory Craft 3000 and Kenmore 158 Series machine), Serger (Babylock Imagine), Embroidery (Janome 300E)

If you think your sewing is better than everyone else's around here, get out of my way b****. I hate sewing snobs.

I would be in a more practical version of Victorian goth. Skirts with pockets, loose blouses, dark colors, patchwork fabrics, lace and trimmings, a chain-mail chatelain. I've had it pictured it my head for years, but I can't buy any of it and haven't had time to make most of it. Mostly I want to get away from jeans (with all those handy pockets) and t-shirts (so often free!).

Can't resist answering this one. I wish I could dress like either Hepburn: Katherine or Audrey - total class. It helps if your as thin as they were, which I'm not. As long as we're dreaming, I also want to look like Maureen O'Hara.

Does this mean we could weigh less too? If so, something like Jayne Semour or Olga in "Ladies in Lavender"--long, loose and flowy silk coats and dresses, sometimes with klunky shoes.

Ditto: either Hepburn with a modern twist. I have no dreams of ever being tha thin.

What an extraordinarily beautiful woman she was. In my life, I have personally known just one woman so beautiful that I could not help gawking at her now and then even though she was a buddy. And even she was not so extraordinary as O'Hara.
