If I get the pattern cover image in my head first I think I'd never commit to buying it!

I have a few that had bad envelope art but made up well, simplicity 3775 and vogue 8413 being the main two.

The line drawings aren't bad at all, but the photograph is just hideous - you can't even see the bodice of the dress, and the styling is so frumpy. I discovered it thanks to Andrea from Four Square Walls' lovely version here http://foursquarewalls.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/im-tellin-ya-folks.html<br /><br />I'm making my own version at the moment - it's a lovely pattern to use, and I can see myself wearing it all the time!Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189147536213169623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132910374487654308.post-25062385292017826262013-04-29T03:27:17.689+01:002013-04-29T03:27:17.689+01:00I tend to look at the line drawings but that last ...I tend to look at the line drawings but that last pattern review has never interested me, even though there are lots of gorgeous versions of it :-)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564445589384926307noreply@blogger.com
