The slouchy pants are cute and would look great with a knit version of that C.R. jacket but I would be careful that they don't end up looking like MC Hammer pants. I personally couldn't pull off that look. They would just hang there like a baggy set of worn out leggings. I really look forward to seeing what you sew up. I was just at Goodwill tonight (i hit up the wealthy neighborhoods Goodwill) and got some awesome stuff! A brand new with tags silk button-less cardigan with embroidered flowers and beads that totally says "glam 50s". $12!! I heart GoodwillAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991949123948585603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-56772076317693478232011-10-13T22:01:05.050-07:002011-10-13T22:01:05.050-07:00I have that Cynthia Rowley pattern, also, but I...I have that Cynthia Rowley pattern, also, but I've yet to make anything with it.

Those are pretty advanced for me. I'm working up the courage to try Amy Butler's Anna Tunic. I bought some really cute grey polka dot fabric, but it was expensive so I'm scared to cut!
