Grr. Having said that - what a fab creation. Also not one for the midriff look (three pregnancies - yeek) but you can definitely get away with wearing something underneath - no?<br /><br />Also itching to get to the oppie to see what potential to unearth.

I love the neck line. <br /><br />If you still want it longer perhaps you could cut the waist band off and add length by adding the botton of another jumper...Perhaps even a contrasting red to match your lovely flower? Alternatively it would also look good as a 5 second cardi. <br /><br />Have fun..Tricia (Little eco footprints)http://www.littleecofootprints.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301179265805848612.post-87953966946231864822009-07-21T11:40:00.122+10:002009-07-21T11:40:00.122+10:00Honestly, it looks pretty damn sweet IMHO!

It's all about LAYERING you see... and because of where it sits, it emphasises the waist and therefore accentuates your figure very nicely! (I've been reading up on my body-shape books!)<br /><br />I'm also glad that you enjoyed the sense of freedom and play that came with a bit of freestyle sewing. Fun isn't it? Even when the result is not quite as you imagined... still very satisfying.<br /><br />Well done you.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06422492795264972573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301179265805848612.post-67321808581958331472009-07-21T10:51:24.696+10:002009-07-21T10:51:24.696+10:00Hi!

Can you explain to an American, though, what you define as a "jumper"? I just finished reading an English book with that word in it and am not sure what it means to you.<br />Oh - and nice blog by the way! :)LaurieStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245033258286982609noreply@blogger.com
