I was at Ann Taylor Loft and they had a couple of cargo style jackets with a similar collar and drawstring thing-a-majig as your yellow jacket. They were cute, but the color of yours is so much more springy and fun. You're right on trend missy. :)amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029076436322883513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-50521531265115109562010-04-21T16:17:48.900-05:002010-04-21T16:17:48.900-05:00A perfect dress and I love that wonderful black an...A perfect dress and I love that wonderful black and white print combined with the zingy yellow shoes.Eugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584571701550775408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-15752077458055118342010-04-21T13:52:37.461-05:002010-04-21T13:52:37.461-05:00Such a great maternity dress!

The first the fabric wasn't drapey enough so it felt a little maternity, but the other two I used very drapey fabrics and I don't feel maternity at all.

I would love for you to recommend some resources as to how you achieve such a great fit to your clothing. I am on a beginner level, and marvel at how your clothing always looks so perfectly fitted, and not at all "homemade." Please share some tips that you think would be helpful, or books, DVDs, anything!
