A Roll in The Hague



A pedicure and a new dress! Is there anything better?

I didn't think V1224 would be for me but I love it! Boy, am I thankful for my Pattern Review friends...this pattern runs SO short, everywhere! I lengthened the bodice by 2" and the length by 3". I really like the little blouson effect in the back:


My sister and I met at Trellis on Thursday and got pedicures together. Is there anything more wonderful than a great pedi? In my next life I want to come back as one of the polish namers at OPI. They have a wonderful new orange red out called 'A Roll in The Hague' and my sister used 'A Good Mandarin is Hard to Find'. I feel so sorry for men. They will never experience how fun it is to be a girl!

  3. Just read your Pattern Review comments:
    " I fear buying just one size anymore...did you have to tweak much?" about the Style Arc. Amazingly enough, I tweaked very little with the fit.
    I ordered on the large size. Style Arc uses a 3/8" seam and I used a 7/8" for the sides and top of the center back for the Leah Lounge.
    For the Elle, I could have altered it down but I had never made fitted, skinny pants before and erred on the side of generosity.
    The patterns are very well cut - promsie. I believe the ELLE and LINDA get the best reviews. Good luck!
