Spring Top Week Flop

Dear McCalls 5388 View D,
I know we had something. Something special. I knew the silky polka-dot fabric I chose for you would be a winner, and that people would come to know and appreciate you for all you are worth.

And then you went and... and..

it is too difficult to speak about.

I know my body has changed some since my last pregnancy.

Ok, I know it changed a LOT.

But that is no reason for your duping me into choosing a size that was probably 4 sizes to big so that once I had half the shirt done, it was more like a gigantic spotted art smock instead of an elegant blouse.

I'll be the first to say a muslin prototype would have been a good idea. But I wanted the best for you right away!

So, until we can settle our differences and I get over the emotional anguish of having NO IDEA what clothing size I am, we need to take a break. Step back. Review our goals and decide if they are in line with each other.

Thanks.

  3. It was TOO BIG! That's great!! That means that perhaps you're smaller than you thought you were?? (silver lining, right??)
