dorothyn said... Wow, I didn't anticipate such great feedback and so quickly. I'm blushing!
Thanks for the warm welcome. It's great to be back into sewing in a significant way, and even better being a part of this community. I've made about 12-15 garments in the last six months, so I'll try to get some more reviews done.
To the other tall gals, this is definitely a great pattern for us, since it's pretty long to begin with.
Regarding the color, I didn't used to think I could wear anything orange either, but this and another shirt I purchased have pinky-berry tones making it more canteloupe than pure orange. If you see fabric in a similar color, hold it up to you and give it a go, especially if you have pink tones to your complexion. 3/13/06 5:52 PM

AnneM said... Welcome back to sewing, and welcome to PR. That is a great style, particularly for tall people like yourself. I have also found that the shade of a color makes a lot of difference in if I can wear it. 3/14/06 8:26 AM
Queendom said... Welcome! Love the style! Thank you for the review. The top looks terrific on you and inspires me to pull this one out of my stash. 3/14/06 11:54 AM

kitkatpr said... You're a 16? Now I'm confused. You looked more like my size (4 on top, 8 in the pants) (only taller). *sigh* Pattern sizes versus storebought sizes confuse me so much! 12/13/06 12:07 PM
dorothyn said... Kitkatpr,
You must have missed that I am 6'2"!, and I'm a 14 on top and a 16 in the hips. I'm about a size 10-12 in readymade clothes. If you're a 4/8, I'm probably a lot taller than you.
Cheers,
