Your skirt looks fabulous, but getting there...well! I guess you must have been sewing a while, in order to know about all the alterations to do? The top looks slightly less intimidating.

They would still look good today. Unfortunately, I never got around to it, but I still have the article for when I do. Threads magazine had a great, inspiring article about him a long time ago; the garments were gorgeous.Carol in Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040851935970426022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-64144062742768002192013-11-05T20:57:18.436-08:002013-11-05T20:57:18.436-08:00This turned out great!
