Everything you hate about it, is everything I love... and I can't wear any, because I'm 5'2", and there is only 6 and a half inches between my bottom rib and my hip... what there is of me, is leg!<br /><br />I have to thank you for inducing me to not be afraid of a qi pao... refer problems above. I am now not afraid to fiddle with the pattern... I will go for a looser style, with the flared sleeve I think, more pre-1920's, funnily enough. There are so many fusion styles.<br /><br />This particular fusion of mod materials and old styling is so beautiful on you... have you checked out some of the 'sports' outfits and knits from that era? I think they would look glorious on you!<br /><br />And I have to ask... Have you shared Walnut and friends with the world over on 'Cute Overload'? They need you for extra cuteness!<br /><br />Have a Lovely Week,<br />Regards,<br />Jaya<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-49620454957973453012013-07-13T10:00:00.712-07:002013-07-13T10:00:00.712-07:00Thanks!Thanks!Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-86724741424417441212013-07-13T09:59:51.952-07:002013-07-13T09:59:51.952-07:00Thank you!

And yes, I love that that's an era that brought a lot of independence to women. <br /><br />I don't know that I really have a pattern that I can post -- it's really just my dolman sleeve top with the long sleeves cut off, and then a really long gathered rectangle for the skirt. If you need more details, ping me!
