The neckline is very flattering on you. <br />Is there a way to move the pockets? I must say, most dresses should have pockets, just where is debatable!

Don't worry about the "over dressed lady" looks. Someone pointed out to me once that with goth and "emo" and people dressed in religious clothing, it's nice to see someone prettily overdressed in vintage clothing. I guess they meant that if I need to dress "differently," that dressing like an old-fashioned lady is the way to go. :)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235341738044433500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-49468690263688518332011-01-08T16:38:13.243-06:002011-01-08T16:38:13.243-06:00I fudged some of the stuff, like bias binding on t...I fudged some of the stuff, like bias binding on the yoke on the bodice corner above the armpits. There were several parts that were confusing and required rereading the directions numerous times.I said it was advanced on burdastyle- it's detailed and time-consuming. The skirt has gathers and pleats, if I made it again I would just do pleats.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365849029941325950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-47093189822949459162011-01-08T16:26:58.533-06:002011-01-08T16:26:58.533-06:00It looks great.
