I expect at some point I will have published every midriff-band pattern in the world, as well as then I will have to discover a new thing to obsess over. (Madelene sent me the link to this one, which is extremely nice.) I believe the shoulders are a mite as well broad on this one, as well as of program I dislike the sleeves or lack thereof, however that’s quickly fixable.
If I were going to make this up, it would have to be in a printed silk, heavily interfaced for the midriff band. I’d ditch the facings for the surplice top as well as do bias trim, instead; getting those facings to lie flat as you sew on the band is a pain as well as a half. This would likewise be great in stretch velvet, made a size smaller than usual. If you were the mom of the bride you might most likely get away with pastel satin. I would most likely ditch the tie belt, however I don’t believe I’d replace it with what appears like (from the smaller illustration) a kilt pin with dangling charms. Every when in a while one of the fashion magazines advises “pin a jeweled brooch at your waist! It’s charming!” when it’s not charming, it’s a health and wellness hazard. You would (I assume, having had the great sense not to try This At Home) scratch up the underside of your arm, snag your purse constantly, as well as pull all your sweaters. No, thanks.
I desire I comprehended the hair as well as color options in this photo, too. I like that goldy-beige color rather a bit (even if it is undeniably upholsteryish) however somehow on the design it looks just ordinary weird. as well as why didn’t they have time to clean out her hot-rollered hair? Were they under assault from the McCall’s people? Did they run out of Cokes? The world is full of mystery.
