Glad to hear your Mum came through for the clappy, and the pink cardy looks soooo much better undone, infinitely wearable!Leoniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081197188456558450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622391971917833715.post-37448909687263249242009-06-09T00:50:55.945-07:002009-06-09T00:50:55.945-07:00I gave up sewing my own clothes for jsut that reas...I gave up sewing my own clothes for jsut that reason - they looked so good o nhte 2metre tall size 6 models but not so flattering on 168cm size *ahem* me!<br /><br />I'm glad you found a way to make the cardi look flattering and please you.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622391971917833715.post-11439325935380798592009-06-05T23:45:27.534-07:002009-06-05T23:45:27.534-07:00Oh this has just made me laugh so much!!!!

It's just a bit "show us yer tits, luv" for me!! I'd prefer they used boobs, bust or even, hey, breasts!

Agreed, it's not the most flattering garment when done up, but with just a couple of buttons as you've done on the bottom pics, I think it's a lot better than just fine. In fact, I think it's pretty cute. The colour is also lovely on you. <br /><br />I am a fan of T&S, and their rules for curvy girls have served me well over the years. Maybe their word for ladybumps is a cultural difference thing? For me, 'boobs' sounds more like a word I'd say to a child (as in, 'please don't bash mummy's boobs with the lego man, darling!'), whereas 'tits' has a bit more of a grown up connotation?

Great knitting, it is so frustrating to put so much work into something and then not get any use out of it.

Much better when undone a little. You are ...oh yes! Much better when undone a little. You are so right. It's wearable like that (the gapy button over the boobage was the bigger issue, I thought, than the boxiness). And it's so good to learn things from a piece of knitwear isn't it?<br /><br />I am so glad you said that about T&S and their use of the word tits. I hate it so much. A woman tried to tell me once that it makes them sound classy. I don't think so at all. I think it sounds like two posh girls using a word that makes them feel like 'average girls' and it DOES NOT WORK.Bellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961733332080072331noreply@blogger.com
