I think their "model" is seriously scary. I think these pants are too tight, even on the computer generated model; see the horizontal wrinkles.

Bonny lass, bonny lass, will you be mine?
You shall neither wash dishes nor serve the wine;
But sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,
And feast upon strawberries, sugar, and cream.

I think they need to sack Miss "Sim City" and get someone real.

Well, I might try the raglan tee, but I can't get past the computer generated models.

I don't mind them too much, but I'd really like to see some line drawings.

Hi Cat1,

I totally agree with you!!

Perhaps their target market only exists in cyberspace.

Maybe when they finally get set up, they will include some *real* people as models. Or maybe not......Anyone watch "The Attack of the Clones" last week on TV?

Regards,

I agree! I know that they have to have test sewers out there! I think a live model would be a nice complement to what they currently have (or a replacement!).

Eeeek! Those are some serioulsy scarly “ladies”! I too had a hard time getting past the look of the “models”. I would be very interested in seeing the reall version or even line drawings of these patterns though: Twisty Tie Blouse, Flatteringly Flared Pants & Lusciously Lo-Rise Jeans.
