I am glad you checked but I KNEW you were okay! If I was swapping I would use the 2dress option, just like you.<BR/><BR/>Third - I am soooooo glad that you got a copy of Decorative Dressmaking.

Whew, that helps me out a lot.<BR/>I'm using jackets too that are going to have to qualify as tops, since they can be worn as tops alone but will most often be worn as jackets...I miss the dress SWAP option though.<BR/>I'm loving your Jackie O theme. <BR/>I have another book - I'll have to go down and get it out to show you. I brought it to Carolyn's attention months ago - it's awesome. Gives lots of info on Oleg Cassini (Jackie's personal designer) as well as the fabrics used and where the garment was worn, and when.<BR/>actually, it might be this one - I have two, and they are both great. I think Carolyn went out and got the other one too.Marjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695305834402487163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405339236965946425.post-17679811023702668422008-01-21T19:26:00.000-05:002008-01-21T19:26:00.000-05:00Glad to read that your wardrobe pattern is ok; I h...Glad to read that your wardrobe pattern is ok; I hope I didn't muddy things further.

I may reconsider doing the SWAP now (I'd started...but my first garment was hideous and sorta deflated my enthusiasm. I hadn't come up with a good alternative).<BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405339236965946425.post-78468793642990027972008-01-21T15:44:00.000-05:002008-01-21T15:44:00.000-05:00After Carolyn posted about the book, I went on a w...After Carolyn posted about the book, I went on a wild search also and got one - it's a fascinating book and really creatively illustrated - a great addition to the sewing library.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405339236965946425.post-89190287094583374832008-01-21T15:37:00.000-05:002008-01-21T15:37:00.000-05:00Lucky you for getting that book!
