Featured in the PR book!

I learned this tip way back when. When selecting patterns, look for the photographs, not the drawings, of the finished garment. Oft times, the drawings are how the designer HOPES they turn out and not how they REALLY are.

	Cinderella said... Absolutely agree! I've made things based on the drawing and even went by the suggested fabrics and the garment may not necessarily look or drape quite the same! 3/7/04 7:51 AM
