I remember the bodice had horizontal tucks that you let out to lengthen the skirt as you grew taller!<br />Such thriftiness with clothing is much rarer these days!Sheryllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17460472835794108787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-35839607230832310042010-10-12T00:09:19.180+01:002010-10-12T00:09:19.180+01:00I think the dickey is a great idea!

Patty, the back is similar to the front in that it's just a straight line of fabric so to speak (obviously it will need to be worn with a cami as in the photos)....I'm curious as to how it turns out as well!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12668255845241284664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-24341573127256496312010-10-11T20:42:18.902+01:002010-10-11T20:42:18.902+01:00I love the idea!

But it sounds great, I often wear sleeveless tops under jackets or cardigans. I look forward to seeing the results!<br /><br />Oh by the way, I notice that the bottom of your post (the last paragraph, combined with the 'you might also like' part) looks a bit scrambled up on my screen. (They seem to be put on top of eachother, making both parts unreadable). I am using IE8, don't know if that is the problem, but I thought I'd let you know. xKarin van Damhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265648838034821590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-7506868644847899542010-10-11T19:57:37.599+01:002010-10-11T19:57:37.599+01:00How neat!

But, I'd hate to be stuck wearing a jacket if I got really warm (the same as wearing a sleeveless under a jacket when at work - trapped!<br /><br />Also, I'm curious on the fit! Talk about gaping issues! is that back part in the drawing part of the pattern, or is it just the front part that's the pattern?[patty the snug bug]https://www.blogger.com/profile/17830791771911214780noreply@blogger.com
