A parcel of mixed emotions
My two purchases arrived today, the bloody cutsew is too too small. Alas, I have the meaty forearms of a Thomas Hardy milkmaid and as the cutsew fabric has very little give, so there is problem.
The Marie Antionette JSK on the other hand fits like a dream. The waist is low and it has a nicely concealed panel of front shirring. I can't get over how old school it looks, lots and lots of lace. The pattern is pleasingly intricate and the colour is an interesting combination of lilac and purple grey. The condition is pretty good for the price, the fabric feels a little worn and a portion of the neckline lace has come apart from the fabric.
