I can see getting the Vogue to fit and flatter with a lot less crying.<br />As far as I can tell, Ms Marlo's association with McCalls never produced a trapeze dress as she modeled during the show (shame, really). I'd hold out for a vintage version; Monsieur T is correct as always regarding the best style line.

The B...Gal in a California construction conundrum,<br /><br />The Badgley Mischka dress is likely including a panel to conceal the closure of a backless-strapless bra. You could draft the cowl to commence a smidge above the panel, and the nadir of the final curve to hit in the small of the back. <br /><br />Both coats is the answer - you excel in coat making,and they have such longevity, never you mind how flattering they are on you. It may be time for a "coat round-up", where you show and share your creations. That ought to make the colorway choices a little easier. A steel grey with those bluish undertones, or a brassy caramel, or maybe a muted green from the early 50s? No doubt you will choose wisely (your fabric choosing has proven heckle-proof - I ought to know!). <br /><br />Skip Vogue V1652 - the flounce on B is an 80s redux. Wait for a "famous designer" pattern from the era to emerge into the specter of your world. The most flattering trapeze looks actually narrow from the shoulders/armscye to the horizontal line at the bust point, flaring from there (not the armpits) - it's almost a very raised waistline, if you will). There are some great examples from That Girl, and Marlo Thomas' wardrobe is surprisingly documented (I don't think Elizabeth Montgomery, any actress on My Three Sons or Family Affair, created more of a fashion ripple than Marlo did). <br /><br />Oh, one other colorway I'm not sure is you, cinnabar. The hem of a cinnabar coat, over sepia hose, and a chunky heel suede pump in deep chestnut...men of certain age will openly weep (and one wonders if that hasn't been your end game all along, Miss Laura Mae).<br /><br />Signed,<br />A dear and gentle readerTestosteronenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-90087515310098085862019-10-04T19:11:53.783-07:002019-10-04T19:11:53.783-07:00The coat looks fascinating.

I also like view B of pants in Vogue 1661 - with the right fabric, these could flow well and look as if you're wearing a long skirt, with the comfort of pants.TheWilsonZoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02686787223041443777noreply@blogger.com
