mandie_rwOkay so I know I don't usually give a rat's ass about plaid-matching but
that's just embarrassing. I really don't think I can wear this...
(Although, in my defense, I couldn't have moved either piece over that half-inch, I was that short on fabric. "O yes I've beaten the pattern layout and yardage estimate!" O HO HO GETTING COCKY THERE ARE WE.)
ETA: And I just tried it on, because it occurred to me that it'd be stupid not to, and HOLY DUMPY SISTER-WIFE, BATMAN. Awkward stumpifying length (yes, that's fixable), too long in the back waist so it wrinkles like woah, and weirdly droopy in the shoulders and upper torso. There's a reason that you only find one picture on Google of this finished pattern, yikes. (And, PS, it looks terrible. That picture is not a lie!)
I do actually think I'll finish it over break, because dude. There are probably unsuspecting victims out there still buying this pattern, and they should be warned off it, so I'll finish it and write a blogger post on it. But I'm not killing myself to finish it for tomorrow!
