I love how belligerent the women in this illustration look. They are just one sidewise glance away from a real, cinematic-quality, GLOW-style catfight.
But I'm not buying this pattern, even though I love the design (and the illustration) because I think I have all the parts and I can do that trim effect on the neck and sleeves myself. And probably will, very soon.
I'm pretty lazy -- I think I told Jonquil that I'm perfectly happy to pay Vogue Patterns $20 to do math for me so I wouldn't have to figure out how to make a tiered skirt -- but I won't pay for a pattern that just tells me how to add some bias trim or a shaped facing.
If you don't already have this bodice and skirt kicking around in your collection, go ahead and click on the image!
My beau and I were just talking the other day about how all contemporary dress silhouettes seem to be so similar to one another. We both miss the full-skirted beauty of the '50s day dress. I'd like to bring them back.

My question is, where is the RIGHT arm of the woman in green? Does she have it tucked up behind her back? Is it just not there? It is not fair to catfight with a one-armed woman, in my admittedly old-fashioned book.
