If you'd like to see a photo of your metal bars in action, check out the Oscar red carpet slideshow which shows a nice shot of the the dress Sophie Hunter (Benedict Cumberbatch's wife) is wearing, in which your little bars are acting as shoulder seams. Now, I wonder if that is really what the bars are for, or did the clever dress designer repurpose some hardware?SilverMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12805572131213530740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-81718517424527591812015-02-21T07:41:19.301-08:002015-02-21T07:41:19.301-08:00I had no idea there was a Mycra Pac outlet on my s...I had no idea there was a Mycra Pac outlet on my side of the Bay -- I need to get there!

I bought myself a pair of the black handled series about 6 months ago, and was very dismayed very soon afterward to find a spot on where they catch and literally stop cutting - I must also have stupidly cut over a pin or something! Knowing they'll be properly sharpened will allow me to part with them temporarily. I learn something every time I read your blog!
