A very different look for you (the pale colors, at least), but it looks terrific, and the lining is adorable.<br /><br />BTW, Betty Draper/Madmen isn't really '50s. The series starts in '62/'63, when the last of the '50s effect is still being felt, but the culture is beginning to crack. <br /><br />Love beads and bell bottoms are just around the corner, but haven't arrived yet.

Also, as an alternative to narrowing the shoulders further - keep the darts in the back and add tiny pintucks radiating out from the front neckline? Could be a fun design feature depending on the fabric.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-73072292408127600402011-08-19T16:18:43.710-04:002011-08-19T16:18:43.710-04:00I love the boat neck on you!

I was fooled! <br />I got my Liberty for 28.95 a yard, and only bought 1 1/2 yards. I hope I can eek out a top in it for myself. <br />I can't imagine buying enough for an dress though. If you made a mistake or hated the finished garment, you would want to cry. <br />That being said, you have the look of Liberty, without the cost, and it turned out cute!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026706261655333994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-58556898432043203092011-08-19T12:14:39.927-04:002011-08-19T12:14:39.927-04:00Beautiful fit, and it looks like the lining gave t...Beautiful fit, and it looks like the lining gave the fabric a little more body.

I hope I'm not the only dolt out there, but I've gotten brain sprain trying to figure out how to turn the bodice right side out just based on the pictorial & written instructions.<br /><br />By the way, why does Google hate me so?
