For years, I've avoided anything with a high waistline. I felt it made me look pregnant, which is not a good look for a person of my, ahem, age.
Well, I'm slowly becoming a convert, and Butterick 5079 is the reason.
A wearable muslin is in process right now, from a very cheap and cheesy fabric off the dollar table. While the fabric is awful, the print is great; this might actually be worn at some point.
I finished the front last night, and gave it a glance in the mirror....okay, this isn't so bad. In fact, it makes me look like I have a semi-waistline...it skims in all the right places, and shapes in all the right places.
If all goes well, I might even try the latest version of the Duro, Butterick 5173.
Live and learn:)
