Last season I desperately wanted to find ONE empire dress that barely touched the top of my knee, to be worn with capri tights and ballerina flats. To the library and grocery store.<br /><br />I never even saw them in the stores. I did find a dress in that shape, ankle length and in lavender linen. I can shorten it and over dye it to a better color this spring. But before I wear it I need to bind my breasts (flatten them) so there is a straight line from neck bones to hip bones. <br /><br />I adore that sweater. I have something like that that I wear all day long but never outside the house.Joanne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623855664379207620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-4577291605820981422012-03-05T08:18:29.559-05:002012-03-05T08:18:29.559-05:00Why does your husband mind?

If it drapes well, it would probably be comfy and more flattering. But I'm with the others... I never was a waif! Best I could do was when I was about 19 and my weight dropped to 110 when I started working. After that, it was all uphill! Comfort is my watchword these days, although I do like to look at least half-way decent when I go out! Keep us posted on this one...

Comfy and cool for hot days and still look put together. Even if your DH doesn't like this, WE do! LOL! Cheers!
