Swiss waists and spring
Hi all! I hope everyone has been doing wonderful these past few weeks, and now that spring is upon us, let's hope the weather warms up considering it's been so gorgeous and sunny but pretty nippy! I just love spring- seeing all the buds and greens coming up and watching the birdies outside of our kitchen window and from my bedroom window as well! I love watching those cute birds hopping about and just totally in their own world! Aside from the prettiness of spring - I finished the swiss waist all but the finishing trim on it, and here are photos of what it's become of! If you should add any input or trim color design or pleating/placketing thoughts, please do so! Enjoy!

I'd love to see you trim it in bright blue so it "pops."
ReplyDeleteStephanie- In my blouses I scrounged up from one of the Goodwill stores, I have a faint kind of blue, and a quite light birdy blue silk blouse.. which do you think I should use? I originally wanted to use the leftover silver silk and use pleats around both top/bottom of it. Also do you think I should still cut a little further around the hip area because of that access puckering? The originals and reproductions.. I can't get a clear enough picture..
