Post by: sewingj on June 15, 2018, 19:34:25 PM: I like these - but I`m not comfortable going sleeveless these days. In fact there doesn`t seem to be anything for those of us past the first flush of youth

especially view D, but like you I don't go sleeveless.

@Francesca: the peplum top is great for those who don't have a backside as big as all outdoors. 0_0

Animal cruelty.

Post by: BrendaP on June 15, 2018, 22:14:33 PM: 7782 is the only one I'd consider, but it's not that special

Post by: Greybird on June 15, 2018, 22:32:08 PM: As far as M7782 is concerned, I agree with UR. I also find anything tunic length makes my legs look even shorter than they already are - and I really don't like that bit dangling down at the back!

Post by: UttaRetch on June 16, 2018, 07:51:39 AM: I really don't understand the clothes for animals thing. Animals have evolved not to need clothing.

Post by: DementedFairy on June 16, 2018, 09:39:25 AM: Dull. But then I always prefer the autumn/winter offerings. Too many that are not only sleeveless [which I will sometimes go for, even though I suffer from a bloody annoying plague of pimples all down one arm] but they are very very bra-unfriendly. And I definitely don't go without a bra anymore. Very low on the armholes, even though some of the straps are OK.
Like most of us, bored to death with cold shoulder styles. I love some of the funky sleeves that are around, but they add too much width to shortarse topheavy me!
And I'm right with UR on the clothes for pets. Bandanas? As bad as bloody bunting! :fish: :fish: :fish:

Post by: Marniesews on June 16, 2018, 22:09:38 PM: I really like M7774 view D too - but for my daughter rather than me (yep, it's the sleeveless thing).

I also like the kimono but think I'd constantly be getting the sleeves caught on door handles, in any case I've already bought the one in the new Jalie collection.
