JEF Gonna try and get the line drawing in: ETA: if you haven't used Lekala before - they are downloadable, custom sized patterns without real instructions. Could be a challenge if you're a beginner sewer but they do let you get started right away! -- Edited on 8/18/12 11:29 AM -- ------ "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." --Abraham Lincoln

I do still love it but that I just completed my third dress.... I'm beginning to think I just can't make a modest enough neckline unless it's a turtle neck! :-( I can't quite get the bust adjustments right and everything is hoochie.
