I have quite a few garments in my closet that I love but never wear because they don't suit me --- my Bad Frock Pyre would be very large indeed. I love the idea of turning the bottom half into a skirt --- such a beautiful fabric that it will look wonderful.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994553975406806627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098393915488355682.post-6119846174884254762010-09-15T14:15:38.778-07:002010-09-15T14:15:38.778-07:00It's a shame!
