ugh
So as usual I think about all sorts of things to blog about, but then never actually write them down.. but work is slow and I just checked my RSS feeds, and CRAFT magazine posted another pattern from burdastyle.com and OH MY GOD I think I’ve hated every single thing I’ve seen posted.
First of all, they all look terrible in my eyes and require a lot of gathering and just drape about some stick-figure’s body like a freakin’ burka. I’m not a huge person - I am properly shaped, just with some added padding - but I seriously doubt that I could wear any of the designs on that website without some pretty significant alteration. Curves, people! Curves!
Okay, I take that back. I’d wear this coat, but in red. And without the shoulder things. And smaller pockets (or maybe ones that aren’t placed directly on my ample hips?), yes, let’s add huge square pockets on the outside of the coat at the widest part of our bodies, hmmm?
hmmph.
