stripes of unflattery

hey guys what's new?

out here i'm trying to figure out how to pick a project that will be awesome when i wear it.
i know, for instance, that i DON'T look good in dresses that are shaped like this.

aw, so cute!!

i DO look good in dresses like this! they are less adorable on the envelopes, aren't they?

so, anyway, it seems obvious what would happen when i made this one

her prosthetic hand reflects the technology of the time. :(

it's really cool fabric, and the dress is really cute...

skinny stripes in the front...

just not on me.

do you want it? it's yours! i spent like $8 on the fabric, so don't feel bad about asking.

big stripes on the back!

i'm still intrigued by the other view...though OBVS with a different skirt shape (this one? it's in the mail) everyone will tell you it's a super easy pattern and they're not foolin...but you have to add your own pockets (mine have peacock feathers!) and don't do the stupid armhole facings. do one of these things instead!

finally, sorry these pictures are ugh-y. I have worn this thing like 10 times when I was hanging out with reliable photo takers, and totally forgot EVERY TIME. So I had to suck it up and do it myself. Here i am hoping i can click the button and move back in time for the photo. LOLZ.

maybe if i bite my lip it'll work?

send pics, luv! xoxo
