Sorry for the dark photo; it was really rainy in California last Friday, when I browbeat my child into taking this photo.
This is one more vogue 9929; I completed it before my trip to Florida. It’s the Echino Glasses material that you see everywhere. I purchased four lawns of it when in came out as well as even made a skirt out of it however I ended up not using the skirt extremely commonly … the glasses are natural-colored as well as the black is a rusty one, so my sartorial OCD never was satisfied with any type of of the possible color combinations to wear with it (I typically settled on an olive-green t-shirt, oatmeal-colored cardigan, as well as black shoes).
Luckily I had juuuuuuust sufficient left for a 9929 — not rather sufficient for self-fabric bias trim to surface the neck as well as sleeves, however double-fold routine Wrights bias tape worked just fine — actually, the double-fold tape is nicer for this heavy material since it makes such a neat narrow finish. I made the pockets of black batiste, as well — Echino material is relatively rough as well as ravelly, so it’s not excellent for pockets.
I’ve only used this a couple of times, however so far it is an overwhelming crowd favorite. I got three compliments on it before I even made it to my desk that morning! (I went with one of my colleagues to get coffee as well as it started to get a bit embarrassing … particularly since he released v1 of an incredible new websocket framework last week, as well as there I was getting compliments on a dress.)
I used it with a short-sleeved red cardigan (not shown), a black men’s Swatch, a black leather bracelet, as well as a pair of shoes I barely ever wear since they have a popular logo (on the SOLES, so not all that visible) that drives me nuts. (I’m like Cayce Pollard about logos.) I waffle about what glasses to wear with it — red ones, these heavy black ones, transparent ones, or no glasses at all? There is a situation to be made for every option. Last time I selected red, this time around black, as well as possibly next time I will bust out the transparent ones (which I haven’t used yet since they’re huge, as well as I’m not yet reconciled to the return of 1980s-style huge dork frames, because I rocked them last time).
I likewise have this material in the bright eco-friendly … my very first instinct was to make one more 9929 best away, however I believe I will continue hoarding it against one more rainy day.
Next up on the 9929 parade: one made of this fabric. (Sneak preview here).
