Pretty Dress:

For The Boys Bamboo Made To Measure by Ureshii on Etsy

I know this dress will be beautiful on somebody (although I don't like the colors she used for the example version), I just can't decide if I would be that somebody.

Damn, that's fabulous! I want charcoal with daffodil skirt things.

Honestly? I can so see you in that!

Isn't it great?

I think I'd get it in Navy, with either Powder or Caribbean inserts.

[txanne.livejournal.com]

Aw yeah.

Cool. I love 40's inspired stuff like this, because it seems like that was the last time anybody was designing clothes for women shaped like me.

I've only met you the once, but if my memory is any good at all, I'd say it's pretty likely that it would look fantastic on you!

I really like the colors she used (redhead, green, go figure), I'm just terrified it wouldn't be a good shape for me, I'm not very appreciative of clingy knits.

But absolutely beautiful, I'd love to try such a thing on!

*blushes*

Thank you, kind sir.

That's part of why I'm a little cautious about it.

Clingy knits off the rack at the store generally do not like me. I'm not sure if clingy knits custom tailored for me would be better.

:-D You're very welcome!

Looking at the title I was thinking of a bamboo dress. I would guess that would be roughly as uncomfortable as a chainmail bikini.

ah... slices of bamboo, rather than spun bamboo fiber.

Want. Slightly longer skirt; cocoa with walnut accents; cranberry with plum accents; charcoal with granite accents.

**droool*

I'm really going to have to get back into this sewing thing, aren't I? (and to make myself an icon of a machine that looks like mine - singer, treadle, 1913...)

[jennythe-reader.livejournal.com]

That's probably about right.

[jennythe-reader.livejournal.com]

She's willing to do a lot of customization on her stuff, so you probably could get a longer skirt.

I need to start sewing for real. I have such a hard time finding clothes that I like and that fit properly at stores...
