When someone is trim, like you, even more so - I think the key is a fitted top. And definitely cropped jackets if one wears a jacket - long ones will just look 90s gone wrong... Try pants, I actually made one of my very few muslins for Colette's Juniper (which i adore and have made 3 of) and found they were a perfect fit straight away! And once you've conquered so much difficult stuff - viz that jacket you just made! - you should have no problems with pants fitting... ultimate trousers from Sewoverit are apparently really nice as a slim pant (but according to what I've read, big bottom friendly, which you're not) - and Colette's are so cute too. When you made that gorgeous little black dress I immediately thought - Audrey! She even has the right fringe!Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715570187712365610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-74497397965509437462015-07-02T09:54:33.389+01:002015-07-02T09:54:33.389+01:00Audrey Hepburn is a bit of an icon of mine so I...Audrey Hepburn is a bit of an icon of mine so I'm very happy that you think that! Black slim cropped trousers have been on my to sew list for a while...I just need to conquer trouser fitting! Maybe with the Sorell I just need to woe out a good fit too and choose the right top to balance them out...Fiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-18763052906421101892015-07-02T09:52:53.231+01:002015-07-02T09:52:53.231+01:00I was thinking as I typed it out that that was a l...I was thinking as I typed it out that that was a long list of new patterns this month!

I can't...i too had missed them - thanks Fiona! I can't tell your height but it's all about proportion - you don't have short legs, so why not the Sorell? Seriously? Even though I have to admit I see you more as the Audrey Hepburn look - in narrow black slightly cropped pants - add one of your cute knit tops (stripes?) and a pony tail, and wow!Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715570187712365610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-41945528624778252282015-06-30T21:51:04.642+01:002015-06-30T21:51:04.642+01:00Lovely month of June!
