Rather it is these numbers that matter, rather than the 'size' you are supposed to be. I mean, whether you make a size 12 or an 18 your measurements are still the same and that's what you use to make a garment. So you see, the numbers on the tape measure are very important. All important in fact!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-32598671984258374192012-02-04T20:20:15.882+00:002012-02-04T20:20:15.882+00:00This top is fantastic!!!

I have a soft spot for simple 40's blouses, yours looks fantastic.<br /><br />You're so right about these types of tops working well with skirts or with jeans, and it's funny because when you wear something like this and "style" yourself modern, it just looks kind of cool and interesting rather than "oh my Dog, she raided her granny's closet."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-50548597519919948102012-01-28T17:48:17.403+00:002012-01-28T17:48:17.403+00:00Thanks again and yes, the lippie rocks! xThanks again and yes, the lippie rocks! xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618367450900385828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-80432183494673900352012-01-28T17:03:53.745+00:002012-01-28T17:03:53.745+00:00Jane, it's a perfect match of fabric & pat...Jane, it's a perfect match of fabric & pattern. So cool that it's Liberty Rocks fabric, & isn't it harking back to the 50s - love it. As for the top itself, so flattering & brilliant that you can draw upon the Sencha for clarity. That keyhole cutout is darn cute & so are you :-)Scruffybadgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18298057071412471482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-4424145912589242712012-01-28T08:16:38.417+00:002012-01-28T08:16:38.417+00:00This top is awesome.
