Brooklyn - I have an IT shape and I used to avoid strong/bold sleeves, but sometimes I find that they do a great job of directing attention away from the tummy area. I am hoping that the puff sleeve and flared skirt will make the waist look smaller in comparison. We shall see.
Joy - I also thought this designer's use of historical fabrics to create a story was quite interesting. I do wonder how he will be able to continue with that when he is pressed for time on future challenges.
Barbara Diane - Yes, the large print over the chest also is a concern for me, but the website video of the two models moving around made it seem less severe. So I look forward to trying it on and either wanting to twirl around in it or having a good laugh!
Judy - Yes, it is good to see Tim Gunn again!
CS - Yes, Heidi's jumper was FAB, especially when she added the belt! However, I was not a fan of either of the outfits she wore in the second episode.
Runcarla - I am hoping that this will be a fun summer and hot fall dress. Although sometimes long skirts make my legs feel hot, so I'm curious if this will work for me.
Synne, Janet, Shevia, Rachylou, Jonesy - Thanks for the encouragement and I will definitely post pics when it arrives in September.
