Perserverance pays off

Whew! While I wasn't able to post the picture I wanted, I did find a similar collar treatment on a Vogue pattern and was able to post that.

Saturday I stopped by JoAnn's to look at some patterns and found the following:

Vogue 2852 - although would not do the white cuffs that hit at the widest part of the hips! Maybe a patterned fabric that tones with the jacket and skirt.

Vogue 7908 I love this jacket and wish that I had a figure that could wear it. It would probably look great on Leigh with her long hip line.

Vogue 8043 - the rounded collar version. I would need to lengthen as this would hit right on the tummy -- not a pretty look.

Vogue 7859 - such a pretty outfit; love the flirty skirt and the flexibility of the collar treatment on the jacket.

McCall's 9456 I like the lines on this dress. Would be great out of a slinky fabric for a dressy occasion or in a knit for a more casual look.

McCall's 4510 I'm thinking that this could be incredibly slimming in the right fabrication. Could be very subtle.
