First fitting. Hmm. The top is good, but I need some more room in the hips. Goodbye seam allowance… http://t.co/kwdp91Bnfs
@RoseRed_Shoes I got it at Frabric-a-Brac last year. No idea what it is other than cotton, but it seemed right for 1973 pattern!

The annoying thing is, I think this may be technically the best garment I’ve sewn. No bodges so far! But I worry it might be ugly?
It’s that center front seam, I think. It’s just so obviously from a different style era. I think I just can’t get past it.
@zephyrama A gift from my step-mom. Published 1973! http://t.co/GZ5HAc9ctv
@drkknits @randomknits It’s a skimming a-line, but my pot belly sticks way out and ruins shape. I think Spanx may need to be deployed.
@zephyrama The accompanying leaflet on how to disguise your chubbiness is a hoot too. 🙂
@zephyrama I’ll blog it when I’m done.
Hem length: above the knee? I’m inclined. (But this belt is squeezing my SPLEEN.) http://t.co/E4Risy0QKT
@drkknits Rodd said any shorter and I’m into Austin Powers territory.
@RoseRed_Shoes I have a thin black belt too, which looks more modern. We’ll have to have styling discussion tomorrow. 🙂
@knitterjp @drkknits Haha! Too bad; you’re gonna have to look at it Tuesday for Melb Cup work party!
@drkknits When you come to Sydney on Saturday, you could go play with some.
