Sherril Miller said... Ann, this is a very nice pattern. It has some good alternate views, so I hope you get to try some of the other ones out. I wish I could wear this style. Oh, I've been dying to ask what you do every day to wear such fabulous clothes! I'm a sub-teacher and mother, and have no place in my wardrobe for such nice things, unfortunately. :( 9/5/03 11:39 AM
Snowblossom said... Love the stripes, it looks really cool. I always enjoy the fun clothes you make. 9/5/03 12:39 PM
Dale C said... Beautiful top Ann. Are the stripes blurry like that or is that because of the pic/fabric combo? It's a neat effect. 9/5/03 1:07 PM
Ann Smith said... Thanks everyone. Sherril, mostly my clothes hang in the closet. Some get worn only a few times. If I stop to think about whether I need something I stop sewing so I choose to disregard practicality. I just enjoy making things.
Dale, the blurryness is caused by the tiny pleats and the sheen of the fabric. The stripes are tiny but clear. It creates a cool optical illusion of movement as the eye moves over the pleats. 9/5/03 1:26 PM
Ann C said... I like your top lots. It's dramatic because of the varying stripe but not too much because it's done in black and white. How wild would it be in brightly colored stripes! 9/5/03 9:13 PM
