No pirate festivals nearby, so last month's pirate weekend at Renn Faire is all I do. 6/11/10 2:26 PM

dfr2010 said... Michelle - maybe if I make another one ... without all the boo-boos in the front LOL I did cringe when I pulled it out and saw what a mess I had made of the plackets. The picture made me realize how flattering it is for me - especially around the midsection. As for "other than costume" I wore what you see in the pic all day yesterday, including out to dinner with hubby. Hubby asked if I had more of the red stripe sleeve material - he likes it. 6/12/10 1:28 PM
