And a tad longer, with shorter heeled shoes/boots, and it's cute for today! I'm very jealous of your long thin legs! <br />The boots look fab too! I didn't know one could take a zipper stop off and re-use it. Gosh, I've probably been sewing at least twice as long as you have and never figured that out myself!<br />Oh, and I really like what you did with the collar!

I need to work on my stash and I have this speckled orange and white fabric I bought from Fashionista Fabrics New Year sale last year that looks good on both sides (one is "oranger" than the other).<br /><br />Here's the twilight part of my comment, I even thought to overlap because I know Burda loves "regle kòz" necklines!!! <br /><br />Actually saw a "surplice bib" detail on someone on the street about 1 yr ago. And then when the Burda came this summer, I thought Aha! I would make it right side for the body, wrong side for the accents (cap sleeve, pockets, collar, maybe hem band?)<br /><br />Are the two alterations the only ones you made? I worry that the dress is too sack-like. Did you do your usual 34/36 sizing? Please let me know.

And I agree with Bunny about putting the teased hair up high on your head, along with a big red daisy. Either than or go with long stick straight 'ironed' hair, or the curly-haired version of it, tied back low on your neck<br /><br />Actually I don't think the dress itself is very trampy (that's probably because it's exactly what I wore in my second year of college (about 1970), same length too), but the boots definitely are! lol. The collar looks more 60s/70s-ish this way than the original on the pattern.goodworks1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02967943973600981509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-85517489153239390942009-10-17T15:51:01.722-08:002009-10-17T15:51:01.722-08:00I thought you made the collar like that on purpose...I thought you made the collar like that on purpose to give it the groovy vibe.
