I love the idea of doing more posts on dressed-down looks.<br /><br />Annabelle, I think this pattern is very suitable for a beginner with a few projects under her belt. Go for it! Maybe start with the round-neckline version to get comfortable with it.<br /><br />Brook, to add length I wouldn't slash and spread, as that would interfere with the tuck placement. Instead, just use a clear gridded ruler to add length to the bottom. <br /><br />Karen, they're stretch cords. I live in them over the weekends!Gertiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314542159287533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-68466514231207531292010-02-26T09:30:38.695-05:002010-02-26T09:30:38.695-05:00I think the dressed down look is great.
