rivergum said... Thanks PattyE, this has put me on the right path, I think. The article talks about a lined garment, but the organza interfacing is still the key for an unlined garment as well. I can attach the bias strips and overlap them at the point of the vee, then cut the bottom of the vee where it is supported by the organza to the stitching line. Maybe staystitch first. Hmmm... this should be doable and vee necks, here we come! 12/10/11 7:24 PM

Sassy T said... I absolutely love it. That style needs a bold print very Moroccan. Am like you I prefer it without the belt. 12/11/11 5:22 AM
