It looks exactly the same, just with a hip to waist ratio that is more common (since it's ready to wear), I think.Emileigh https://www.blogger.com/profile/13683866769745929646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-59743326623737866832015-08-17T09:46:42.074-05:002015-08-17T09:46:42.074-05:00Yes you WILL have to post a picture!

I scored some fun patriot print at my local fabric store after July 4th. It's all 40s war bonds! I'm not sure what to make with it though.
