It's not straight, it's curvier than when I was younger. I like my curves, just don't know how to dress them.akvaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01366976963979209936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-81397117525287603222011-06-14T07:45:31.603-04:002011-06-14T07:45:31.603-04:00Lovely as she and her music is, she's not maki...Lovely as she and her music is, she's not making friends in the UK at the moment by moaning about how much tax she has to pay, as high tax bill = lots of money to start with.Mirianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09236111119718805934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-51453457802634685872011-06-14T03:11:38.300-04:002011-06-14T03:11:38.300-04:00Adore Adele's looks...

I tend to cling to the "looks good on most body types", and that is often not what I want.Kris EOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-89959223193033347872011-06-13T16:58:29.020-04:002011-06-13T16:58:29.020-04:00Hi Gertie,

It gave me an idea and I'm not sure what you think but could you run a series of posts on flattering body shapes? I've been studying my vogue sewing book which has a section on how to best flatter a figure. I have sewn a number of garments that I love the look of but the reality for my body is that they are simply not flattering. Do you think you could choose a body shape, talk about how to highlight strengths and perhaps suggest patterns? I know this is a tremendous amount of work but it would be wonderful to have your input (and that of your readers - what works for them). I know it's a tricky area - but I really think it could be approached in a celebrate every type of figure way. What do you think? A sort of Trinny and Susannah for the sewing world?Fay Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268591351761265923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-16866089687994327052011-06-13T16:44:06.646-04:002011-06-13T16:44:06.646-04:00I discovered her a few weeks ago on YouTube and in...I discovered her a few weeks ago on YouTube and instantly fell in love with her voice and style.
