But then again I know what it's like when you're over working on a project and ready to move onto the next one. I love the new pattern you've chosen :)Chris Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804725788257834748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613411465030191477.post-82426106115794014362013-02-27T08:53:15.828-08:002013-02-27T08:53:15.828-08:00I wondered that too. but I also wondered if bringi...I wondered that too. but I also wondered if bringing the sleeves in would spread the neckline open more?

As soon as I saw the photo I thought it looked very unflattering on you and you always look so nice. Its a hard call to admit when something you have so lovingly invested so much time making actually doesn't suit. Its strange because in theory having the black on the sides should be slimming but like you said the colour block may have been too dramatic. As I say "onwards to the next project which I'm sure will be fantastic".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613411465030191477.post-13102115290098899782013-02-26T15:13:26.365-08:002013-02-26T15:13:26.365-08:00Very cute Lynne.

Maybe not boning, but something that would work in a similar way?<br /><br />As for the wide white portion in the shoulder area, could you put some black lace in a sort of scallop from the edge of the neckline to the bottom edge of the white at the armscye? something with a decorative scallop would give the visual line of a shoulder princess.<br /><br />Or a yoke shaped piece of black scallop lace which goes from side to side at the same point of the armscy but follows the neckline including the split opening? It would dress it up more than you intended, but it might at least change it to be something you prefer.<br /><br />If you aren't a lacey lace person, you might find a geometric kind.<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613411465030191477.post-29507543077959258962013-02-26T13:23:22.887-08:002013-02-26T13:23:22.887-08:00Lynne, I think it looks pretty good and I like the...Lynne, I think it looks pretty good and I like the black/white idea. What if you just did a solid black peplum? Then with the split neck, just fold down the parts that are flopping and stitch them down. It will give you the v-neck look without lots of adjustment. I like the top with your bright blue pants.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229406683301436266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613411465030191477.post-56750535392467277892013-02-26T12:49:40.885-08:002013-02-26T12:49:40.885-08:00Looks to me like that neckline might be salvaged w...Looks to me like that neckline might be salvaged with a cute button and loop closure.Miasewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597551802534518767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613411465030191477.post-6805605886086115152013-02-26T11:10:13.463-08:002013-02-26T11:10:13.463-08:00Lynn you always look very striking and this top is...Lynn you always look very striking and this top is no exception. I agree though, the Lisette pattern with straight through princess seams might be better for your very inverted triangle shape (I'm inverted too). That way with the peplum your shoulders may look less broad - love your slim legged pants, though - they really suit you with the peplum over the top.Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.com
