Lisa at miss Helene’s sent me this link a while back (click on the picture to go to the primary street shopping center listing). She sent it for a linktastic Friday, however it truly should have its own post, since I am concurrently fascinated as well as horrified by this pattern.
First off: who dreamed up the fake bolero? (Because, obviously, a genuine bolero is as well much trouble, right? What with all the tedious being able to take it off as well as put it back on again.) Or is it an sophisticated collar? I’m much a lot more sympathetic to the sophisticated collar, although I don’t like buttonholes that will never feel the touch of a button. buttons on their lonesome: okay. buttons stitched over snaps … eh, whatever floats your boat. buttons condemned to look longingly at their buttonholes across a never-to-be-crossed divide? That’s just cruel.
I do like the bit contrast print along the roll of the fake bolero/elaborate collar. as well as the lines of this dress, too, are rather captivating. I like exactly how completely the gown nips in at the midsection (without a waist seam, which indicates it is pure fantasy, or something to be accomplished only with scary undergarments).
So: I’m conflicted. Is this gorgeous, or is this ludicrous? (Or both? Both is definitely an acceptable answer.) What do you think?
[I’m likewise wondering if the women on the pattern envelope are chuckling about being able to put this over on the pattern company. “I can’t believe they gotten this one! Let’s try for a fake vest impact next!”]
