The only long pair of pants I own are a pair of jeans which get worn when I am digging in the garden. <br />Having said that, if there is currently NO trouser pattern, it makes sense to add one in for variety and balance. Personally, I would be interested in a flat front, side zipped capri style, or other which wouldn't look unbecoming on an hourglass shape, as it is very hard finding RTW trousers that fit the waist AND hips at the same time!Debinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-26192707759427726132011-03-03T04:35:52.302-05:002011-03-03T04:35:52.302-05:00Hi Gertie.

Maybe an additional dress should be a twist...more casual or more formal than the other dresses, or with the option to make it separates, etc.?hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022210696704550291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-1948596911924674882011-03-03T01:42:30.055-05:002011-03-03T01:42:30.055-05:00I agree with the others that want to nix the coat....I agree with the others that want to nix the coat. It is way too involved. I wouldn't mind a nice bolero if there is something unique about it (like fun kimono sleeves or a stand-up collar).
