No longer young or thin and definitley not traditional I found my wardrobe needed a complete overhaul.( many ‘what was I thinking moments here.) Blogs like yours make it fun. I am following your Wardrobe Architect series and you are inspiring me to get moving.
I love polka dots and will be looking for more of those and I am also thinking alot about painting my own fabric. This will be fun!
Like you I like dresses with fitted tops that flow outward to balance my matronly endowment. I like to make my own patterns and I just bought some navy with black dots in a knit.

Oh, and YES to the idea of a Velvet Swans pocast!

By the way, I really enjoyed hearing you on Pomcast. Would love you to do a Velvet Swans Podcast…..
