I just need something to cover-up for an autumn wedding that wasn't too flashy. And I liked the video that Carlos posted a few weeks back. I didn't watch it with the sound, I wish I could find it now. Anyway, the other Vogue pattern will work just fine. I have a few tweaks I would like to make to it and hopefully it will work.

That's interesting about the Clinton ball gown/Threads article. I didn't realize that happened as well.

McCalls?) and her SOTU Michael Kors outfit (Butterick). <br /><br />It's being a bit nitpicky IMO, and I don't support her or him. Personally, I think the original outfit AND the pattern are unattractive (like the dress alone just fine...but it isn't new or groundbreaking) and the color is...odd...KS_Sews (Dressmakingbacles)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04687503853838975877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-27294356898961686792017-08-04T07:27:47.826-05:002017-08-04T07:27:47.826-05:00I like both patterns, and can see your point about...I like both patterns, and can see your point about the copying - it would have been nice to have it be a designer pattern. I'm not sure I'll buy the new pattern, as it's just the jacket I like also. Now, politics is so overheated many can't separate anything related to the party they oppose from any subject it seems, not even sewing patterns. But that's nothing new really. I've been reading through back issues of Threads and after Bill Clinton won, they did an article on Hillary's ball gown and how it was constructed. Someone wrote in bitterly complaining about how dare they cover anything related to the Clintons and said to cancel their subscription. They could. not. separate. politics from an article about gown construction.JustGailhttp://justgail.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
