I hve been thinking about sewing the yellow linen pants. I know it seems surprising that such as simple thing as drawstring pants could require so much thought, but in my case it does. I have also been busy and just too tired to sew, especially when I am not yet sure what I am doing. I know I should just bodly go forward and tackle the project. Perhaps tommorrow,as I will be out most of the day today, first taking Adam to the airport and then going to the wedding of a friend’s son.
However, I have started looking at the fall couture show photos on stye.com. I have really only gotten through Armani so far, but there is lots more looking and dreaming ahead. I know, this blog seems more about dreaming about sewing than actual sewing…
Following are a couple of things I liked, all from Armani Prive, all courtesy of style.com .
I really really like the shape of this little jacket. It is, to my mind the nicest of the day clothes shown in the phtoos from style. Some of the other day jackets are nice but a are a little too overtly feminine and flirty for me. The dart/tuck shaping around the neck and shoulders is very sleek and flattering here and the jacket looks modern, sleek and feminine.
I am pretty confident that I have a pattern I could adapt for a variation on this look and it is really making me look forward to fall sewing.
(Ha!! I wont start fall sewing until the leaves start falling off the trees, I know myself too well. But I will probably think about it.)
I do like the front shaping on this jacket, but it is far too
revealing as shown here. It would be beautiful as an evening look over
a simple silk or lace shell and a long skirt or drapey pants.
The second evening look is very clean and simple and I especially like the contrast of the fabric, matt with rich.
