There's an article about the designer, Valentina, with pictures of gorgeous creations, including one chiffon number that measures 18 YARDS at the hem. SWOON. Also has tutorials for sewing sheers. Also look up Madame Gres. She did amazing work with draping and pleating chiffon.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895625114035965626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-83965956767192997522010-07-02T11:29:35.798-04:002010-07-02T11:29:35.798-04:00Aside from the fact that it's just not my favo...Aside from the fact that it's just not my favorite, I don't think it's the best style for Cathy's figure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-2988849620787318352010-07-02T10:26:42.814-04:002010-07-02T10:26:42.814-04:00I didn't vote as I didn't want to give X t...I didn't vote as I didn't want to give X too much credit--I've read her blog--but I think the pattern will be great on Cathy.
