I have often wondered about the zippered collar neckline and suspected it may fold with some fabrics. I think I like your plain and simple neck better, in any case. The gingham, of course, always a winner. The Vogue t- in my stash too - it's nice to see it made up :)Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072586494339347029.post-9922278827317505602014-07-23T17:43:28.918-03:002014-07-23T17:43:28.918-03:00WOW!

Seriously considering making something similar for myself. Next is the Sandra Betzina dress. Absolutely LOVE what you did with those chevrons. Trimming it down may have been a little more work than you anticipated, but the final product is beautiful. Next I guess would be the black/white/red striped dress. I like the concept of that collar, but can easily see how it could be too heavy. The button down blouse is adorable. I like the way it fits you. Reminds me of one of the TNT patterns in my own stash. Keep up the great work, Diana. I love watching your wardrobe evolve.<br />Happy Stitching!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234366085172090247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072586494339347029.post-9485628952826778752014-07-22T23:19:49.855-03:002014-07-22T23:19:49.855-03:00I could not agree MORE about sewing being a help i...I could not agree MORE about sewing being a help in time of trouble, sadness, stress and whatever else life throws at us.

I, too wear a C cup in McCall's patterns but a D in bras. I took classes from Marta Alto, of Fit for Real People fame, and she fit me into the fitting shell, and specified the C cup pattern for me.<br />I love your stylish retirement makes.
