Can’t Decide
Found in a nook
I’m cleaning out nooks and crannies in the craft closet and found this pattern.
I’m alternately amazed and appalled by the hair, the headband which I just this moment noticed, the gladiator sandals, and the blousy pants.
I must have bought this sometime in the eighties. The plan was to make the shorter version cause even then I had enough sense to know that a cabled mini-dress knit out of soft cotton would be unflattering on almost every woman and would be a baggy mess after one wearing.
Can’t decide which is more distracting: their hair or their feet?
Wait, it might be that one is in the girlie, crossed leg posture and the other one is in the sporty, wider stance. Or is it the contrast between the belt-defined waist and the pleat-disguised belly. Let’s just pass quickly by the buggy and steamboat in the title.
I’m torn: do I keep it as an example of eighties textile design or do I add it to the St. Vinnie’s pile.
