Thank you for all the great feedback. I wouldn't have thought of outfit 3 if not for this challenge, and I'll be sure to wear it for real some time. (I wore a modified version of outfit 1 today.)
And thanks again, Emily, especially for the really nice things you said in your original post!
I'm looking forward to creating a challenge for Ornella - I'll post something in the morning. I was busy all evening with a St Patrick's Day dance gig. Ornella, you have such an analytical approach to your clothing that it's fun to think of what you might come up with.
ETA: Liz A - the cat is just three months old. Cat-shaped but kitten-sized. At the rate she's eating, she won't be kitten-sized long!
