And the problem with the red Donna Karan is that you can't wear a regular bra with it--that slash at the shoulder would show it.The Slapdash Sewisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668474749166329852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286753599148728267.post-29651294726589616052013-01-25T12:05:50.821-08:002013-01-25T12:05:50.821-08:00Hmmm...

I think the same model is shown in some of the other photos though and she looks model thin but not creepy thin in those. I think the thinness in that one design might be a result of the angle, the dress, and the belt working together (I have to admit I have a few pictures of myself at that angle taken by skating photographers and my waist also looks really freakishly tiny). I don't know that I have even been put off of a pattern by the model's body before, though I can sort of see why the skeletal body shape might freak you out a bit.T.

(typical) And the men's shirt and DK patterns will definitely be coming my way - love that crazy asymmetrical dress! <br /><br />I have to say, when I saw the 8872 Easy Options dress I was instantly turned off by how thin the model is - actually I found it pretty shocking. I'm not trying to be hostile toward other women's bodies or make any kind of judgement - obviously, there are some women who are super-svelte and come by it naturally. But for some reason I'm turned off to the whole pattern, which is weird since based on the line art this is probably a pattern that I would really like, otherwise, and it's sewn up in two of my favorite colors. Just wondering if anyone else even noticed or whether this is just a weird me thing...Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286753599148728267.post-43736459188670427832013-01-24T19:25:53.975-08:002013-01-24T19:25:53.975-08:00Haha, yeah seems like that is always the case. I ...Haha, yeah seems like that is always the case. I have to admit I try to be halfway objective and halfway view things from the "what would I buy/make/wear" standpoint. Believe me when I say I can see how some of the things I like would not work or be practical for others, and I can see how some of the patterns I find tragically dull might actually look fantastically cute on someone else. I always like to hear other opinions though - especially when they differ from mine. Makes the discussion and commentary more interesting!T.

I would definitely lose food particles/meals down the front of the V1340 dress.<br /><br />Like you, I'm not sure I'd wear V8875 but I'm drawn to it. The bag reminds me of a piece of tailor's chalk so it could be fun to make it for a sewing friend.KirtleBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07655719623313611929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286753599148728267.post-35497179703166860222013-01-24T15:55:28.786-08:002013-01-24T15:55:28.786-08:00I will have to get the red DK dress but that's...I will have to get the red DK dress but that's about it. IThere are a few other nice designer pieces but I feel they won't work on me or I already have something similar in my Burda collection. Still with the crazy shipping I can't buy just 1 so it will have to find some friends, maybe I'll find some before the next sale.AllisonChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431369603470575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286753599148728267.post-84703362505824869492013-01-24T15:35:27.834-08:002013-01-24T15:35:27.834-08:00Great review.
