Remember this post, wherein after removing excess fabric I realized I'd tapered the lower part a bit too much, hindering me if I had to leap for whatever reason. Well I've cut the maxi-dress and I feel like I can walk a straight line...lol. Also, it has become a work appropriate dress and too add a nice touch, I stopped at my favorite spot (The Loft) and picked up a ruched sleeve cardigan to pair with the dress. Initially, I thought about pairing it with a blazer, but remembered this post and stepped in line.
Now I'm thinking I could use a few more cardigans, but will attempt to make them.. so off to search the worldwide web for cardigan patterns.7/08/2009
