Parts are especially big & unshapely when taken out of context! On the whole, however, it could be a lot worse! I have this Vogue pattern at home but haven't made it. I just love yours! The improved belt was a great idea too.elberethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554976226353461033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-72409198903502765862009-04-10T09:53:00.000-04:002009-04-10T09:53:00.000-04:00Love all your plans!

If you are self-conscious of your bottom and want to make a straight skirt, what about something like Vogue 1082 or 1062 that has strategically placed seaming to give the illusion of a narrower bottom? You could pipe the seams with a contrast, even. I am going to try 1062 soon and see how it looks.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873478695914665795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-54817651162442043542009-04-09T09:47:00.000-04:002009-04-09T09:47:00.000-04:00I love your photo collage and I may steal that ide...I love your photo collage and I may steal that idea to help me keep up with my to-do list.

The fabric is super cute, but if you cut into it with the intent to make a dress you are not in anyway enthusiastic about, you will likely regret it later. I would wait awhile and then find a pattern that you really like.

What I do think is that you have a small waist so that in comparison, your booty looks large, which it isn't.
