They're both naturally slender (one's an absolute beanpole) and it fit them perfectly after I made one bodice an inch shorter and the other an inch longer. It's a very flattering dress and went together beautifully.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747223126169684757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-34120023789738067832009-10-12T08:05:02.658-04:002009-10-12T08:05:02.658-04:00Thank you, Selina!

You have totally inspired me as I am sure you do many readers. Thanks, I needed the push - the old "heeve-ho".

I'm excited to wear this to work. <br /><br />Sarah, the only clue I can think of is the fit at the waist--it's quite snug, and then it blouses out above and below. Maybe that would create more of an hourglass shape?<br /><br />I cut out the silk for the chemise dress last night. It's the prettiest color and I can't wait to show it to you guys!Gertiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314542159287533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-2856252147763605372009-07-25T07:00:33.182-04:002009-07-25T07:00:33.182-04:00I love the neckline and the way it pulls in at the...I love the neckline and the way it pulls in at the waist, very cute!
