I feel like so many of my projects I face the same problems- using every scrap to squeeze all the pattern pieces on. A lot of the fabric I own is cut at 2 metres, since I bought it without really knowing what I was going to use it for, and then I find that 2 metres isn't enough. :( But, then it becomes a make do and mend project, and there isn't any wastage! <br />This is a very lovely and classic outfit- and that braided belt is so pretty too!<br /><a href="http://www.theartyologist.com" rel="nofollow">The Artyologist</a> Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850447706684871976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-5068813380455983392016-12-14T22:13:15.976-06:002016-12-14T22:13:15.976-06:00Thank you!

They're often more easily flattering on tall women and both preferred a narrower hip. They also have lots of flowy, feminine fabrics that can help soften things.Emileigh https://www.blogger.com/profile/13683866769745929646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-48186148126068100492016-12-14T22:09:04.434-06:002016-12-14T22:09:04.434-06:00Yay for short girls with long skirts!!!

I never hem anything shorter than about 27", which hits me almost at mid-calf. I'd love to make a couple of slightly longer, '30s length skirts.

The sleeves are genius, they actually create a really lovely detail and the multi-directional checks is so classically 1930s. <br />It took me a while to come to terms with wearing longer length skirts,as I'm only 5ft 3, but now I can't go back. All of my 1930s skirts are from about 3 inches below the knee to lower calf and I love them all!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106899252606137869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-7501731143210461692016-12-13T17:31:56.417-06:002016-12-13T17:31:56.417-06:00You look fabulous! :DYou look fabulous! :DStephanie Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210449948990020456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-87340317522102271592016-12-13T16:11:03.412-06:002016-12-13T16:11:03.412-06:00I love every thing about this outfit!

I also thought, that the 1930s dress length would be unflattering for me, but on the contrary. It looks a lot better than in 1920s dresses anyhow. :) I think it's all a matter of the length of the skirt - sometimes an inch can turn a good looking skirt/dress to one that makes you look short and fat. <br /><br />I love the outfit and I love your belt!gemmafloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357366321738002802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-12792149536079119212016-12-13T14:30:32.137-06:002016-12-13T14:30:32.137-06:00This is nothing short of glorious!!
