I really should stop looking at patterns  :P

Has anyone tried this http://chalkandnotch.com/shop/womens-waterfall-raglan/#reviews ?  I am thinking it would be a beautiful Christmas dress in velvet?  Beyond my abilities but something to aim for  8)

I think it would depend on the shape of the wearer.  On large-busted people it would hang from the bust line and look big and tent-like, which is why I wouldn't wear it.  It looks good on the slimmer ladies in the photos.  The one larger model has belted it in at the waist,  :frock: not a good look!

I think it can work, but I don't care for the 'crazy art teacher' colour and styling.

I think the overall look is ugly.  The dress sewn in a different combination of colours and without the orange accessories, is fine.

Oh Snowgoose.. I didn't mean the pattern itself  I meant the whole red and purple outfit look...

It's not easy being this perfekt

The other one I like is 'cankles'

ie calves that blend into ankles with no visible difference...I suppose if unlucky, you might have fugly cankles too. :devil:
