Stunning! That fabric and style work a treat on you! Good to hear about the narrower shoulders in SA.

Lovely cardi. This is the first cardi pattern that has any appeal for me. Thanks for your review. It's a good reminder of what is available.

Love this on you. You mentioned a dress form-what type do you have? Any suggestions as I am thinking of purchasing a form. Love the SA patterns.

sugar88, I have a dress form that was custom made to my measurements, because none of the standard sizes could be padded out to fit me. My body is taller than standard. There are a lot of threads about dress forms- both DIY and purchased. Search the archives and google. In the meantime I will start working on a FAQ page to add to my blog. I get ALOT of questions about it! hope this helps :)
