I'm finding the same as you -- there's so much ease, even though I cut a size smaller than usual. The bust seams are correctly placed, but I feel like I need to pinch out at the sides loads.. I'm hoping it won't distort! Jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-30720273126503306442013-08-12T19:33:33.518-04:002013-08-12T19:33:33.518-04:00Lovely!!!

Also, have to say that the new blog layout is looking soooooooooooo much better than your old one. The photos are so much bigger - so much easier to see detail and it looks a lot less crowded. Definite props lady! Only thing I would say is please get rid of the "recaptchas."
