pdiddly said... Its horrible when you spend so long making a complete outfit only to be unsure about it - I don't think it looks as bad as you think thanks for the review 8/20/11 4:31 AM
1SewSweet said... Sorry, that's so unfortunate so much time was spent on something you're not totally happy with...I can definitely relate! (been there, done that!). 8/20/11 7:18 AM
Claverie said... Actually, I think you're 'stylin' it. 8/20/11 7:20 AM
Nancy Rhodes said... Lovely outfit! But I hear you on the shortwaisted issue. Have you tried a no or far less contrasting color for the blouse? Think that would solve the visual conflict between your (mine too) long legs short torso build. Pants look fab!

JoyceP said... Thank you! I have this pattern and will definitely not abandon my muslin-makin' ways :-) BTW, I agree with jenleeC that the front pleats are the issue. They end at just the most inconvenient spot - otherwise the ensemble looks really good on you. Hope you can tweak it!! 8/20/11 9:47 AM
cleverkitty said... I know what you mean about the high waisted pants, I made a pair and I'm done with that style, pleats don't look good on me. I can relate too... 8/20/11 10:11 AM

grey ann said... Ditto comments re: the pleats. Try a white belt with that white top. It will lengthen your torso, or like Nancy said, less of a contrast color for the top. 8/21/11 3:14 PM
Gendun said... Yes, it's a cute outfit. I have the pattern but wasn't keen on the jkt until I saw yours! As for the pants, don't give up on back zips - they make your derriere look cute! (hehe) As for the front, I agree there is something hinky with the pleats. The pants fit perfectly until you hit the them. Overall, however, it's totally cute! 2/18/13 0:25 AM
