Interesting. You have just cost me £18-95 with Amazon.
Fitting wovens - as was most of the clothing in the 50s and 60s - is much more challenging than fitting jerseys and lycra.

I've just sat down and read the blog post. Really hope part 2 comes along soon!
In the meantime I'm going to try jersey on my overlocker today. My exercise routine is working, but this means my curves are getting more exaggerated and harder to fit!
