Actually, I rather like the version with sleeves... but then, I've been re-watching DS9 over the past few months ;)

Nice accessories! This IS elegant, but could also go "Pilgrim" for Thanksgiving theme parties if it were all brown, and just the center piece white, front and back. I am beginning to think no hostess' wardrobe is complete without a jaunty yet subtle Pilgrim dress for the holidays. Think of the memories you'd be creating! And it could be passed down through the generations, like a Santa suit.

What's wrong with their necks? Do they have some sort of curvature of the spine?

I hear ya sister in the,"don't call it the happiest day of your life". I'm engaged and i'm SOOO sick of hearing how it will be the best day of my life! I've been with my partner since high school, almost 10years now, sure marrying the man of my dreams and having a big fabulous party sure will be an amazing day...but surely with all the wonderful things that you can achieve in the world, surely they'll be many more. Forgive my rant, I'm just so pleased to hear I'm not alone lol :)

That's the famous "swan neck" of myth and legend and pattern envelope. Me, I don't find the "no shoulders" look to be attractive. Lacking a diminutive and modest spirit, I actually have shoulders and prefer something with a set in sleeve.

Simple but elegant. One could do a lot of embellishments on this pattern. Cute.

Did anyone else notice the "slenderette" reference? Half sizes were always for the "chubby girls" - so you slenderette them? Sounds painful.

I've noticed the “slenderette” label before, too. It sounds like an artificial sweetener. kanishk

Half size slenderette fit me better because they are for full figured short ladies. I wish they still made them.

So Slenderettes are more about height? They're Petitettes?

Cookie - well short women anyway. I'm 5'2" but broad shouldered and large bossomed. I guess you could say it's a height and weight thing.

Well hello. I wanted to drop you a line and see if you'd ever seen this website: http://www.koshka-the-cat.com/

Half sizes are designed to fit 5'3" and shorter. "Slenderettes" were designed to fit fuller figured women.

I'm 5'10 yet I find I prefer using vintage half-size patterns because they're fuller busted yet not as wide across the shoulders as their full size equivalent. I like my bodices fitted, yet full sizes always seem to come up a bit baggy and I end up having to take them in. Nathalie

I'm 5'10 yet I prefer those vintage half-size patterns, as they have fuller busts with slightly narrower shoulders than full-size. I like my bodices fitted and full-size patterns (even those allegedly in my size) always seem to come up baggy or fall off the shoulders, and have to be taken in. Theresa

The slender, cookie, comes from the style of the pattern -- it's supposed to make you look "pounds slimmer."
