Does anyone have any suggestions how to make a "modesty panel"? Velcro keeps coming to mind. Wonder if it would work.
The invitation came for the annual Christmas party at DH's work. Only this one said "Dressy/ Black Tie attire"......I haven't owned a cocktail dress since the
1980's. (I admit I did still have it in the closet and reluctantly decided the shoulder pads and high-low hem were just too bizarre to wear)So I go out to find one. Why do they all have spaghetti straps??? It's freezing cold here. My arms would be purple if I wore that. And the ones in my size were above the knee. That would look more hideous than the purple arms.
I found one, lone, suitable dress that fit, that had sleeves and a longer skirt, but it has a V neck that's too low. Do people still wear scarves tucked in their necklines? I have no idea. I've been living in jeans and sweats since 2001, and wearing a denim jumper or skirt to church is about as dressed up as I can get.
On topic: I bought Eleanor Burns' Orions' Star book today with some yummy scrumptious batiks. I think it'll be a no-stress, really enjoyable quilt to put together. It's for a HUG quilt for a catlover friend; I plan to fussy cut some Laurel Burch cats into the middle of the stars. Laurel's colors look like they'll work well with the batiks.
