For me at least, it definitely works better to have it hit at the top of the kneecap like you suggest. I like the mermaid skirt idea, that sounds cool! And you're right, the proportions of this particular outfit (blousy top and bottom) are all off. Your Nana is a smart cookie! :)110 Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740139592563988097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733005898566155607.post-45083550106082958502014-02-06T06:45:47.476-05:002014-02-06T06:45:47.476-05:00Colette patterns designs for a C-cup, so maybe tha...Colette patterns designs for a C-cup, so maybe that could be your culprit? I always have to take a tuck from the back whenever I make a Colette, otherwise I get that hunchback/dowager look. About the skirt--the length is too long (anything that skims just below the knee ends up looking dumpy--it has to hit above the top of the kneecap, or higher). In addition, you have the figure to pull off a slim, fitting skirt--maybe take it in and make a pencil version, or maybe a mermaid, using the ruffle? (Your husband would dig it!) Also, if the top is blousy the bottom has to be fitted, and vice versa; otherwise it'll always look frumpy. <br /><br />There it is: I just channeled my Nana! smaili beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621325946247913388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733005898566155607.post-27250495917331245342013-04-21T16:26:25.145-04:002013-04-21T16:26:25.145-04:00Thanks for the feedback, Carla!

I think I'll try taking out a smidge of fullness from CF and CB to see if that gets me the husband stamp of approval!110 Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740139592563988097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733005898566155607.post-19107307754995041342013-04-19T10:16:17.050-04:002013-04-19T10:16:17.050-04:00This is just adorable!

I do think you could go down a size especially with using a knit. Great review!Carlanoreply@blogger.com
