Here is a fascinating peek from Ann Steeves' Gorgeous Fabrics' Blog at a well-made coat lining, that of a Burberry trench. It is useful for sewing a similar custom lining or judging quality when buying a coat. Inside a Burberry Trench Part 2 – The Removable Liner

If anyone is interested, here is part 1 from May 2011: Inside a Burberry Trench http://blog.gorgeousfabrics.co.....ry-trench/

Many forum members have been talking about or following Marie Kondo's decluttering advice. Here's how she shops for clothes. Note that at least two of her recommendations are exactly the same as Angie's: "Cherish the size you are now," and "If an item sparks joy, do not wait for it to go on sale." (Selection is best at the start of a season.)

Plus model versus plus size women.
Pretty hilarious and telling at the same time.

I liked that link from anna, it really made me laugh and illustrates the point. I dont think it makes any difference though, whether we are talking + size or regular. The model will not have wrinkles,or unflattering areas. That is the point. Add that to, one woman has a belly, and the next has a great booty., yet they wear the same size.

Loving the "Women Who Work" series at Out Of the Bag. So far the women she's interviewed all work in environments similar to my workplace, where pretty much anything goes. It's fascinating to see how they've thought through what "anything goes" actually means, and the choices they've made as a result of how they want to be perceived.
