Pewter or Black? Help!10:15 PM
Okay lovelies, I need everyone's opinion. I fell in love with the amazing Linea Paolo "Adair" studded platform sandal and decided to snatch up the size 4. In my infinite wisdom, I decided to have both colors sent to me so I could decide which to keep. My dilemma is that I have now fallen in love with both, so if you could please tell me which you like best to help me decide I would really appreciate it!
Batter #1, Pew-Pew-Pewter! This one is a bronzier pewter than I had imagined, but since it is closer to my skintone, it also makes my legs look super long. Classy.
Batter #2, Black. Classic color, and the gunmetal studs look pretty awesome. Legs look shorter than the pewter, but the black is way more rockstar.
I didn't expect them to be so different! Please give me your opinion, and if you can, your reasoning. Thank you guys!

wow those are sexy! your legs look so sexy with them!! size 4 wow I want one too! my feet is also petite :DReplyDelete
I like the pewter on you!! you can see all the cool detail on that color!
i see why that's a tough choice!ReplyDelete
i really like the pewter. i love bronze/beige/grey shoes!
Pewter for sure! They certainly do create the illusion of longer legs. Who wouldn't want that? Never mind the rock star look, I say the shoes that make your legs look amazing are the way to go ;)ReplyDelete
I'm personally not a fan of the rock star look to be honest which would also explain my gravitating towards the pewter; it looks classier and softer. Although, the black pair does look edgier. Having said that, most people have far too many black heels to begin with.
I'd say pewter, because it does make your legs longer. And I guess it's more unique than the black? The black one seems be to everywhere...ReplyDelete
Pewter <3ReplyDelete
Because honestly, black shoes are probably what EVERYONE is gonna wear at parties or out clubbing. I went to Vegas last month and every single girl was wearing LBDs and black heels I started to zone out on all their faces until I saw a girl in red with heels other than the color black.
And like you said, your legs look more elongated with the pewter ones so bonus points for you! You'll be turning heads by wearing something other than black already and what better way to up the competition more by looking extra fine in said heels.
You can always customize the pewter heels with a whole new different style that deviate from those dresses that look better with black heels and come up with a more refreshing look that beats the typical all black attire. Which I'm sure for you, won't be too hard at all :D
If I had to choose, I would personally keep the black pair because I think it's more versatile, you can wear it with skirts and jeans. The pewter seems like they'd only look nice with skirts or capris. I guess it depends on your style! Those are so cute...you always manage to find such cute shoes despite having tiny feet!ReplyDelete
BTW, I was wondering--do your nails ever turn yellow-ish from wearing too much nail polish?
I have to say pewter, because it's a more unique color, and I'm sure you can find a black one easy. Also the pewter actually draws people's attention to, instead of a pair of black shoes. I think you can dress up or down with the pewter easier and match more clothes than a black one.ReplyDelete
It's funny what a big difference color can make... black is probably more popular, but pewter will make the statement, I think =)ReplyDelete
Good luck choosing! This is a toughy :X
Gotta go with the PEWTER!!!! Black is too plain jane, they wont stand otu as much as the pewter. They are both great but for you trust me pewter really makes you stand out!!!ReplyDelete
okay.. I say black :) sexy!ReplyDelete
i say go w/the pewter only b/c it's slightly more uniqueReplyDelete
and then you can send the black ones to me <.<
Pewter - way sexier and more versatile.ReplyDelete
black. rockstar is always hot :) good to have as a stapleReplyDelete
I didn't know you could find size 4 out of an Asian mall, let alone Nordstrom! This is news to me. But yes, the decision is so hard! Rockstar is hot though, you'll definitely stand out! Go black!ReplyDelete
I like the pewter! It seems more unique and still very classy (: Wow size 4! I have a hard time just finding 5's!! :PReplyDelete
i vote black. it looks hot! i love metal studs on black leather.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 9, 2009 at 1:41 AM
loving the pewter =D ! i think you can see the detail on the shoes better coz theres more contrast =D both are lovely thoughReplyDelete
They look so good on you.!!
Black looks awesome and it's heaps easy to match. Pewter is specky though which is also good. Since they're both in your possession you might as well mix and match different styles with them. :)ReplyDelete
PEWTER!! its soft and edgy at same time, plus everyone else will be wearing black studded shoes. It's refreshing to be different...Thanks for sharing and love your blog and videos.ReplyDelete

definitely pewter! they are really unique and they look nice on your feet :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 9, 2009 at 6:26 AM
Both are gorgeous but the pewter is so unique! Black is much more common; you'll just look like any girl walking down the street.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 9, 2009 at 6:41 AM
pewter looks for glam!ReplyDelete
Pewter - because of the visibility of the detail and because it makes your legs look they go on for miles ;-)ReplyDelete
the pewter one because it looks more elegant with some edge whereas the black on has a more rugged feel to itReplyDelete
Pewter! it's cuter and definitely compliments your legs. ^_^ very cool shoes!ReplyDelete
I agree with everyone here. Go with pewter! I think it's more unique and it makes your legs look great!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 9, 2009 at 10:10 AM
black. they look more expensive. they are also more dressy looking. but it's up to you.ReplyDelete
personally, i would definitely keep the black and contemplate keeping the pewter :)
- AnonymousSeptember 9, 2009 at 10:15 AM
Keep the black, pewter looks cheap.ReplyDelete
i really like the pewter on you =) they look great! i wish i could wear such high heels but i have retarded feet that blister and yeah.. =PReplyDelete
Pewter for sure!! It gives a perfect yet subtle twist to the shoes. :)ReplyDelete
I would say, pewter, because it does make your legs look longer, so...if it was me...I would wear the pewter ones more often since they look good on me. (: The black ones ARE nice...but..I would probably where them less often. The pewter ones are more worth it since I would where them more, they seem very functional, and you would get more enjoyment out of them since you can wear them more. Atleast that's my own personal opinion.ReplyDelete
I like pewter!! It's a nice color! :DReplyDelete
its more unique and it looks soo nice on youuu :)
- AnonymousSeptember 9, 2009 at 12:41 PM
keep BOTH!! lolReplyDelete
the shoes are so hot. i like the pewter A LOTReplyDelete
I LOVE the pewter one. It looks great!ReplyDelete

- AnonymousSeptember 9, 2009 at 5:50 PM
pewter for sure! i reckon its a color that is NOT black, yet matches almost anything that black can. blacks getting boring.. it is a staple, but boring. not to mention your legs DO look hotter in the pewter.ReplyDelete
so sexy! and they stand out way more, especially the studs!
pewter is a nice color too but i still like black in this pair! :)
I WANT THIS IN MY SHOE COLLECTION. These are one of the hottest pairs of shoes I have ever seen. I'm having a hard time choosing as well because both of them are so gorgeous. I think you should keep pewter though, because it makes you look less "bold" since you're so skinny/petite. I'm very skinny as well, but I'm 5'3... I want both so badly! Hot shoes, Jen!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 9, 2009 at 6:30 PM
Pewter for the win!!!ReplyDelete
Now that you mention it, the black really does cut the leg off at the strap. I really need to keep this in mind too, since I'm petite as well :)
Pewter for sure! Pewter looks really classy and unique. and it DOES make your legs look longer. Though the black looks good, I'd still say that it's not as outstanding as pewter. So many ppl are wearing black these days I don't even bother to take a second glance at them unless they are super super fancy (which is rare)! So pewter's the way to go!ReplyDelete
Definitely pewter! Those are hotttReplyDelete
pewter!! u can ALWAYS find black shows but pewter is something different! plus, i do think they are still versatile bcuz it's a gorgeous neutral colorReplyDelete
i would have to choose pewter, but they're both gorgeous. :)ReplyDelete
i'm jealous of your legs!!
- AnonymousSeptember 9, 2009 at 11:43 PM
Choo-Choo-Choose the Pewter one. Like you said it makes your legs looks longer, sexier too. Black is way too common! Pewter will make you stand out from the crowd. I think this Pewter says both classy & Rock Star on you!ReplyDelete
i like the bronzy one! As you said, it makes your legs look longer but its also softer and more unique :PReplyDelete
Jen, the decision is quite clear. It's the pewter, as most people are already saying. I would've picked the pewter as well just because black looks too typical. Metallics are hot for the Fall as well. So if you pick the pewter, it will be much more unique and in fashion. Also it flatters you fabulously! What's not to love about that? =)ReplyDelete
WOahhhhhh those shoes are F.I.T!!!ReplyDelete
I want I want
- AnonymousSeptember 10, 2009 at 11:02 AM
I'm into the muted colors lately. I think u should keep the pewter.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 10, 2009 at 7:15 PM
tough choice, but i'd say black because it's classic -- you can't go wrong with it! :)ReplyDelete
Both look good! Recently ive bought a light grey one too (but there wasnt any other black version that i could choose XD)...ReplyDelete
But anywayz, id go for the black one.
Black is always black. U can use them a lot, either on summer nights or cold seasons (w/ black leggings - the pewter wouldnt look as good, and they also stand out more from your skin tone ^^)
but, even so... the pewter one is a good choice too and more unnusual than the same old black ;)
haha did i help you? XD
Pewter is unique. Get pewter!ReplyDelete
Pewter! It's unique & the light and soft shade doesn't 'cover up' the studs like how the black does :) plus it elongates your leg and i'm sure you can pull off any look with that platform!ReplyDelete
Pewter's the way to goooo ;OReplyDelete
- SunisaSopidaSeptember 11, 2009 at 10:06 PM
Get them both! You can wear them for different occasion n outfits. They are so lovely.ReplyDelete

The black appears to cut your legs off at the ankle straps; awful:P Pewter Bronze has a elegant soft feel to it which brings beauty to your legs!ReplyDelete

Are these pictures taken in the bathroom? Is that white round thing in the background the toilet bowl? LOL..ReplyDelete
- CarolineSeptember 12, 2009 at 6:28 AM
mm the black look so damn sexy though! Black :DReplyDelete
or both haha.
I like the black rock star shoes!ReplyDelete
They both look really good and I dont see a difference in terms of leg lengths. They dont do equally well at making you appear tall. Personally the pewter one is a lot more unique and hence wins my vote! Good luck Jen! Cheers, KellyReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 19, 2009 at 9:57 AM
theyre both pretty.
hmm, i'd say BLACK! black can match anything and gives you more of a "grounded" appearance, instead of a "floaty" one with lighter colored shoes. also, the pewter ones slightly blend into your skin color. the black ones really is edgy and elegant at the same time, and looks more expensive if you ask me. ;)ReplyDelete
where did you get that dress!!?? its beautiful!ReplyDelete

It was the kind of thing that would have outraged me, had it happened any other day, any other week. It was the kind of thing that would have had me out of my seat, demanding explanation. It was the kind of thing that I would have written letters about, that I would have blogged and twittered and shared, about which I would have said, I would have hollered, to anyone who would listen, look, this just shouldn't happen, we need to make sure that this doesn't happen, why the f*ck does this still happen?
But it was the wrong day, the wrong week, and I just wasn't up for it because my heart was too heavy and my head was too full and the last thing I needed was an argument with a flight attendant about whether or not I really should cover myself up with a blanket while nursing.
When she approached me in my seat near the back of the plane, blanket in hand, I ignored her. Jasper was tucked in at my breast, wrapped in his own blanket, his head pressed against the white half-moon of flesh that was barely visible beneath him. His head was damp from the stream of tears that had been running down my cheeks from the moment of our departure, the tears that I'd held back while saying my goodbyes. I bent my head over his, shielding my face, my breast, my baby, my tears from view with the veil of my hair. I didn't even look up when she spoke to me.
Excuse me, perhaps you'd like to cover up with a blanket?
I don't answer.
I brought a blanket for you.
She crouches slightly, bending closer. I gather my voice. I'm afraid that it will crack.
I'm fine, thank you.
She stands up, still holding the blanket in front of me.
Well. Perhaps I'll leave it with you?
I don't answer.
She reaches across me, across Jasper, and drops the blanket on the empty seat beside me. If you need help with it, let me know.
Thank you, I say, my jaw clenched, my throat closed. I am trying to not cry anymore than I already am.
Some women are more comfortable nursing with a blanket. I can't see her, my head bent as it is, but I imagine that she stiffens defensively.
My tears are getting hot. I swallow my anger.
Thank you.
And then she walked away, and I kept my head bent over my baby for as long as he nursed and as long as he slept and until the tension in the back of my neck became too much to bear.
I didn't say anything. I had always though that if that happened to me, I would say something. That I would I would ask why she was pressing the blanket upon me, that I would ask if it was WestJet policy to 'suggest' to nursing mothers that they cover up, that I would say that if I was comfortable with blankets I would have one with me, that I would say that no nursing mother wants a stranger bent over her while she nurses, asking if she wouldn't rather cover up for privacy, that I would, if I had the nerve, ask are you serious? Are you really serious? Do you not see that I might be offended, be made more uncomfortable, by your hovering, by your suggestion that I cover up? To say, no nursing mother should ever be told to cover up. To say, it is my right, it is my child's right, to nurse and be nursed here, right here, right now, in the manner that best serves us both. To say, fuck your blanket.
I always thought that I would say something, if it happened to me.
I hadn't figured that I might, if happened to me, be caught in an anxious, unguarded moment, that I might be feeling vulnerable, that my heart might be sore, that I might not be the cocky self-assured self that I can be when I'm protected by my words, by the screen, by the condition of being virtual. I hadn't thought that, in the reality of such a moment, I might just fold under the weight of my anxieties and my hurts and my self-consciousness about those anxieties and hurts, about my self-consciousness, full stop, and just want to disappear. Under a blanket, maybe.
Which is precisely the problem, as I've said before. A nursing mother is very often a mother at her most vulnerable. A nursing mother traveling – a nursing mother traveling on her own – a nursing mother traveling on her own and weeping – is almost certainly a mother at her most vulnerable. To approach woman under these circumstances to suggest that she do something to modify her behavior is to exploit her vulnerability. It is – and maybe this is too strong a statement, although on the basis of my own experience I think not – to bully.
I wish that I had the emotional strength right now to be more outraged about this. I wish that I had the emotional strength, even, to express a measure of outrage that amounts to more than this heavy sighing, this defeated complaint. I wish that I had the mental and emotional wherewithal to write a letter, to send an e-mail, to make a phone call. But I don't. I'm spent, completely and totally spent. Everything that I have is going toward supporting my family and keeping my own emotional ballasts stable. There was, there is, nothing left over.
All there was to do, all there is to do, is to take cover under the blanket, and hope that it doesn't smother.
One of you, anonymously, took the initiative to get the contact information for media relations at WestJet. If you're so inclined to express your opposition to policies advocating the blanketing of nursing babies on airplanes, here it is: Gillian Bentley, Media Relations, e-mail: email@example.com.
Many of you have told me that you've already sent e-mails linking to this post. You are all so, so awesome. It's warming, to be so surrounded by heroes, bare-breasted or otherwise.

I Met Tim Gunn!
Oh, where to begin? First, I must tell you that it was a work event. I so happen to be employed by the company that published Tim's latest (fabulous) book Gunn's Golden Rules. I about died when I found out we'd have an in-house book signing! It was limited attendance, so you know I was one of the first to get on line. (Work? What work? Tim Gunn is here!) I established myself as the dorkiest fan when I brought my Tim Gunn American Library Association poster for him to sign.
We were all waiting outside of the conference room where he was to be signing. And then down the hall comes Mr. Gunn himself! He was so charming, saying hello to everyone and thanking us for waiting. And, as you probably guessed, he was impeccably dressed. And his shoes were very shiny.
Now for the best part. When it was my turn to meet him, I introduced myself and then he complimented my dress! And actually asked "Who are you wearing?"(!!!) Well, readers, I about died of happiness and replied, "I made it!" Tim seemed quite impressed by that, requested that I spin for him, and then asked if I designed it myself (I had!). Readers, I couldn't believe what he said next: he declared that I was "very talented." He continued regarding my dress, with that fist-to-chin pose that he does so well, and then said, "Goodness! I'm examining you like you're some sort of object." I assured him that it was an honor to be objectified by him.
Then I unfurled my poster for him to sign, which seemed to amuse him, though he looks rather serious in the photo below.
In closing, a few more exclamation points: !!!!!

Goosebumps! and a few more exclamation points!!! But, I have to ask--an American Library Association poster? Does this mean that by day you're a librarian and by night a obsessed seamstress? Hey-me too!ReplyDelete
Whoot! That is so cool. I have to get his book. I know I am violating most of his rules right now. I do have an autographed Tim Gunn bobble head which sits on a shelf in my sewing room overlooking my sewing machine.ReplyDelete

So wonderful to hear he's as lovely as he seems - and your dress thoroughly deserves compliments.
...And extra awesome points (from a librarian) for getting him to sign your ALA poster
Congratulations! You must have been on cloud nine!ReplyDelete
Oh my giddy aunt, how brilliant! A meeting, a signed poster AND a fist-on-chin appraisal of your amazing work. There's no such thing as too many exclamation marks for this.ReplyDelete
Aw, thanks for sharing the exclamation points with me, everyone!ReplyDelete
About the poster: no, I'm not a librarian, but a book editor. And I love librarians!
Andrea, yes, he's holding a Thomas Mann book. It's a series of posters where celebrites are photographed with their favorite books.
OMG! What a fab moment & you have pics to prove it happened so you don't have to pinch yourself in case it was all a dream :)!ReplyDelete
And how amazing that he loved your dress (YAY!!).
Way to totally SCORE!! Tim Gunn loving a retro-styled dress! Compliments from Tim Gunn on your work!!! (You can't have too many exclamation points. ;D)!!!!! Kudos to you!ReplyDelete
OMG. So cool. I would be floating for days - nay, weeks - after that encounter.ReplyDelete
AAAAH!!! I am squealing for you, it is just so exciting! I kind of met him once, at a cast party/opening night party here in DC, and he was there but... not like you! I wasn't wearing anything I made either, and what fantastic compliments to get from him!ReplyDelete
OMG.... I can't believe it Tim Gunn that must be in you top 3 it would defo be in mine, I'm green with envy... wow :o) xxReplyDelete
I'm so thrilled for you! and I'm glad that you brought that ALA poster! As a librarian, I'm proud that you brought the poster! You go, girl!ReplyDelete
Rose in SV
Isn't he just darling! I met him at a up close and personal setting "The Cochran College of Art" in DC. His talk was about his book. He answered everyone's questions, took pics, and signed anything that was asked of him. He was so gracious!ReplyDelete
While very very awesome, it makes me wonder... Knowing you were going to see Tim Gunn today, how did you decide WHICH of your fabulous dresses to wear? But actually, I genuinely like the blue version he complimented you on better than its yellow cousin. The colour suits you.ReplyDelete
So jealous! I'm loving that he loved your dress. You look like at least two million bucks! I'm so glad he's as nice as he seems.ReplyDelete
Awesome! I'm just about done with his book and it's just as cute as he is. The stories are so fun to read.ReplyDelete
I am so jealous. And he loved your dress!! so cool. I have such a crush on him.ReplyDelete
Oh, I'm so envious! I LOVE Tim Gunn! To have him notice and *compliment* your dress - the thrill.ReplyDelete
Have you thought about auditioning for Project Runway?
I'm sure everybody else is thinking this, but Gertie, how awesome would if be if you competed on Project Runway!!!?ReplyDelete
Love Tim Gunn! OMG, that is so wonderful that he was impressed with your work (as he very well should be)!!! I am so seriously jealous. :)ReplyDelete
You absolutely deserve his admiration of your work! The dress is beautiful. How wonderful for you!!ReplyDelete
Squeeeeaaallll!!!!! Doin' the happy dance for ya. He liked your dress :) I'll bet you were floating the rest of the day...heck float the rest of the week:):)ReplyDelete
sooo freakin' awesome!!!!!!! very jealous!!!ReplyDelete
How lucky!ReplyDelete
And I definitely agree with Tim, you're very talented!

I am so freaking excited for you! Tim Gunn is so sweet to say that to you!ReplyDelete
Oh, you´ve been touched by The Divine!ReplyDelete
I do worship His Holiness, in fact I´m on a lifelong mission to find a real- life sized cardboard cut of The Holy with his hand on his chin. I intend to make this cutout stand in my sewing quarters as a constant reminder for me to " make it work ".
And yes, that dress is very lovely and yes- you obivously are very talented.
Gosh! Such greatnesses!
This is such a fabulous entry. I'm so excited for you. "Who are you wearing?" Priceless! I agree w/ Emily, I'd love to see you on PR. Even more so, I want Tim Gunn to discover your fabulous blog. It's one thing to say, "Gertie got to meet Tim Gunn". I want to hear Tim Gunn say, "I got to meet Gertie!"ReplyDelete
Awesome! Im totally jealous! Im not surprised he loved your dress. Its fab!ReplyDelete
thats just awesome!!! good for you!ReplyDelete
I'm French and I have no idea who Tim Gunn is (is it appropriate to add some more exclamation points here ? Yes I think it is !)!!ReplyDelete
But you sound really happy so I'm happy for you !
I had a question about the blue yellow dress though : did you use horsebraid hair on the hem ?
I bought some, never used it, but if this is the effect achieved, I will wait no more !
Bye & thanks, from a fellow sewist and publisher (I wish I met stars at my job, but we publish economics books !!)

Is the low-low of investment losses still worse than the high-high of investment gains? It's a central thesis of behavioral economics: that investors would rather protect what they have than experience the euphoria of a rising portfolio. And now a new survey from Allianz Life seems to confirm the view.
The vast majority of Americans ages over age 25 with more than $200,000 in investable assets surveyed in the Allianz Life "2013 Investor Market Perceptions Study" said they were seeking some form of protection from losses as they accumulated assets for retirement.
In total, 95% of respondents said they would like a financial product with no potential loss or at least some level of protection from loss rather than one with unlimited potential growth but also unlimited potential loss. More specifically, more than three-quarters (76%) said they would prefer a product that offers a balance of potential growth (up to 10%) with a level of protection that shelters them from up to 10% of losses.
The majority of survey respondents have grown weary of market volatility. Despite a more than 1,000-point gain in the S&P 500 Index between March 2009 and August 2013, investors appear to remain hesitant to put money at market risk as nearly $8 trillion still sits in cash, according to the report. It further exposed this hesitancy as more than three-quarters (79%) of respondents said they believe the market will continue to be volatile, and nearly six in 10 (59%) noted market volatility as an economic concern having an effect on their retirement outlook.
"It's clear that for many investors the trauma caused by the 2008 financial crisis is still being felt and is dampening their willingness to take on risk with their savings," Allianz Life Financial Services president Robert DeChellis said in a statement. "Although we've seen strong equity markets this year, volatility remains a constant concern. With fixed income investments offering disappointing returns, there is a strong need for solutions that can provide solid upside potential but also protect against some of the downside risk that is keeping people from participating in the market."
As they relate to retirement, beliefs that market volatility will continue were consistent across age ranges with at least three-quarters of Gen X/Gen Y (25-44, 82%), baby boomers (45-68, 80%), and older investors (69+, 75%) surveyed sharing that opinion. In addition to fears about equity markets, the survey also found these investors were unhappy with returns from less volatile investments. More than six in 10 (62%) of investors surveyed said they were challenged to find sufficient yield or return in today's low-interest rate environment.

The B5814 Bodice Muslin!
Me: Is this too, um, revealing?
Jeff: Nope!
Men are so predicable sometimes.
But let's back up. I did have to make a couple adjustments to the muslin. When I first put it on, it looked like this. (Please excuse the cell phone photo.)
Here's how the new sleeve front piece looks.
I also checked the skirt measurements on the pattern tissue to make sure the amount of ease was correct for me.

Hi looks great. Any chance you could do a tutorial on how to put 3/4 sleeves into the Colette crepe dress? ThanksReplyDelete
- LandgirlNovember 16, 2012 at 2:44 PM
Very revealing but lovely lines, very worthy of any potential Joan or Marilyn out there. The bodice actually makes for a very nice looking top too.ReplyDelete
- ColleenNovember 16, 2012 at 2:47 PM
You look very vavavavoomish! Seriously. I love the fit on you.ReplyDelete
3/4 sleeves on the Crepe would be a great dress, I think. I'm already going to make it in a light wool for winter. Now I reall want those sleeves!
Yay about the longer sleeves! I love this dress but hate my upper arms, and would seriously love to be able to add 3/4 sleeves to it. Thanks so much for the walk-thru on how to adjust pattern. You rock. For so many reasons.ReplyDelete
That is lovely!I could see why you were wondering if it was too revealing but it shows your tattoos beautifully!ReplyDelete
Looks really good so far! The neckline might be low-cut but looks absolutely fabulous with your tattoos!ReplyDelete
- Jennifer SNovember 16, 2012 at 3:53 PM
I hope I got enough extra fabric for my dress to add the longer sleeves. I guess it won't be ready for this year's Christmas party, but it will give me lots of time to fix it up for next year. For a second, I wondered if you showed the fitting to my husband. He fits squarely into the predictable man hole.ReplyDelete
I passed up buying this dress because of the sleeve length (got your coat pattern though!). And I have to laugh about the low cut reaction. I bought a rather inexpensive low cut knit dress for a vacation this past year (which I never ended up wearing for vacation). It was adorable with kimono sleeves. Much later I planned to wear it out with my guy and asked the same thing you did. He had to pick his jaw up off the floor. This is a man who see's me change every day. Flash a little cleavage and they go all funny in the head. It's pretty cute though, those kinds of reactions.ReplyDelete
LOVE LOVE LOVE the 3/4 length sleeve. Please, please spend some time teaching us how to make that alteration.ReplyDelete
Those 3/4 length sleeves are really nice!ReplyDelete
This looks amazing, I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished piece. And I love the way it frames your tattoos!ReplyDelete
I love the look , and the 3/4 sleeve -- but would there be a way to raise the neckline at all?ReplyDelete
Yes on the 3/4 sleeve.ReplyDelete
The changes you made for a better fit look good!!! I vote yes on the 3/4 sleeves tutorial.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 16, 2012 at 8:45 PM
I'm with Jeff on this one! The neckline looks really gah-mazing! Revealing, yes, but just the right amount. And it frames your tattoos Gorgeously.ReplyDelete
I also vote yes on a 3/4 sleeve tutorial. (Partly because I'm hoping I might adapt the technique to work with the sheath bodice in your book!)Replies
I totally agree, I don't think there is necessarily a certain point where something becomes "slutty." You need to know how to pull off a look, for example if you purposely tie up your shirt to show stomach, that looks kind of off, but Gertie puts a lot of thought into pulling off her looks correctly. I wish I could know how to make anything look good, lolDelete
If you have a garment with a fitted bodice that has BOTH a V-front AND a V-back, you ARE going to have problems with the sleeve caps staying up on your shoulders! I would recommend using one's BRA STRAPS as an adjunct to keeping the sleeve caps in place on the shoulders! Doing this also helps keep the bra straps out of sight; this is done by making little "chain loops" to fasten around the strap. They also sell them pre-made, as I am sure everybody already knows! It takes a bit of tinkering to get them right, but I have always found the result satisfactory. One really needs a bra with this dress anyway, so might as well put the straps to good use!ReplyDelete
I was going to mention the same thing as Sufiya: No amount of tinkering can make the shoulder straps or sleeves in a design like this stay up on their own. If I remember your introduction do this dress correctly, that fitted bodice is going to be boned, making it effectively a strapless dress with decorative 'sleeves' put on.ReplyDelete
You can alter it so they stay up when you're standing straight but they will slide down when you start doing such crazy things as moving your arms about and, especially, sitting down.
I've done wedding dress alterations for while and we would suggest to customers to stick those sleeves on using lingerie tape (a transparent, double sided adhesive made for the very purpose of sticking cloth to skin), but in this case, Sufiya's suggestion could work very well.
- AnonymousNovember 17, 2012 at 10:59 AM
Gertie, you look fantastic! Yep, agreeing with Jeff here, and really - they showcase your tattoos beautifull!ReplyDelete
- KristineNovember 17, 2012 at 12:03 PM
I'm just asking this out of curiosity, not out of criticism, but why are you having to make so many alterations to a pattern that you designed yourself? Shouldn't those tweaks (like adding a shoulder seam) be part of the pattern as written? Please excuse my lack of knowledge on pattern making, I'm genuinely curious!!ReplyDeleteReplies
I was wondering the same thingDelete
It's because I draft and fit the original pattern to a size 10, which is Butterick's sample size. When I make it the first time for myself, it's just like anyone else making a pattern for the first time--I might have to make tweaks for fit, proportion, etc.Delete
Thanks for this answer. I didn't get it either!Delete
Also, I don't have any tattoos, but I think yours look amazing in that low neck line :0)
Why thank you!Delete
It looks cute so far! I was wondering if the criss-cross would make boobs look uneven, but it doesn't! It's hard to tell on the small busted model on the envelope.ReplyDelete
An unrelated question.... What is that foot you are using to sew the casing channels on the peasant dress? Do I need it to make that dress? I an really interested in taking that course.Replies
Sorry for the double post! Can you please delete one? ...and this one too? Lol. What a dork!ReplyDelete
The bodice is awsome, and it looks nice in both short and longer sleeves. There is a sleeve quite smaller than the other, though. Check it out. Curously, it happens the same in your book cover's dress. I hope I'm not being negative... since it is a muslin fit, and it has still an easy solution.ReplyDelete
The dress is going to be gorgeous on you!
Wow! Nicely done! I passed the pattern up when it was on sale at my local fabric store because the line art and photos didn't do it justice (plus, I'm not sure how to go about a FBA with this cut - pivot and slide as usual?), but next time it's on sale, I'm picking it up!ReplyDeleteReplies
- JessicaNovember 21, 2012 at 8:46 AM
I also passed on it because I wasn't sure about the FBA. I'd love to make it but afraid it will end in ill fitting disappointment!Delete
I passed too because of the FBA. It's a lovely dress, but the FBA would be awfully complicated. It looks like you would have to do two different methods for each side of the bodice. For one side, I would probably add volume to the folds and gathers, but it looks as if the other side has a dart of some kind which might need some variation of the traditional method. I think this is just not a style for full busted people. Plus, the bra difficulties would get expensive.Delete
Wow, gorgeous shape!ReplyDelete
That is a sexy neckline - if you got, flaunt it :) I don't think it's too revealing, I mean it is low, but still remains classy and elegant.ReplyDelete
Hi Gertie! I like following you through your fitting alterations, and I would enjoy seeing the 3/4 length sleeve alteration. One quick question - could you have made the cap sleeves fit without the added seam by just folding that area out (kind of like a dart that goes all the way across and therefore folds itself out)? Thanks for the tips!ReplyDelete
I really love the look of the 3/4 sleeve....really pretty. And of course your hubby would say the front isn't too low.....my husband is the same lol. Pop on a push up bra and his eyes would be as big as saucers! Heehee ;)ReplyDelete
Loving the 3/4 sleeve on this dress!ReplyDelete
When should you put the extra work in for making a muslin, and if real muslin is not available what is the best cheap fabric to use?ReplyDelete
Very inspiring! I can't wait to get near a sewing machine again soon. :)ReplyDelete
Wow this dress is so amazingReplyDelete
Yes PLEASE do a 3/4 sleeve tutorial!
This looks amazing with your tattoos!! I love sewing blogs.. Im a new sewer and blogs are so much fun:)ReplyDelete
trying to start one up...
Looks like some hard work, but very well done!ReplyDelete
Aren't they just? My husband would say its not too revealing even if my actual boobs were showing! I have found a better question is "would you like other men to see me in this?"ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 4, 2013 at 4:38 PM
Hi! My name is Carina and I live in Brazil. I ordered and just received your dress pattern. I would appreciate a lot if you could post your tutorial for 3/4 sleeves as I would like to make a winter version for a wedding.... Love your blog and your new hair is awesome! xoxo, CarinaReplyDelete

Is it possible to make the perfect pizza? At Fox's Pizza Madelia, MN , we know it is! We make the freshest, most delicious pizza, specialty hoagies, and mouth-watering sides every day for our customers.
Here's how we do it: We start with hand-tossed dough. Then, we gently spoon on our award-winning sauce. Sprinkle on 100% real cheese. And then add tantalizing toppings. It's the perfect pizza, and that's why our customers keep coming back, week after week and year after year. We offer delivery service, or you can pick up your pizza to take home.

|Racine, WI
The City of Racine is home to an estimated 77,542 residents, and it's located in Racine County, WI.
This report will help you become better acquainted with Racine and the surrounding area by addressing the following questions:
Hazardous Sites near Racine, WI
There is one Superfund site in Racine County, WI. Superfund sites, like Hunts Disposal Landfill in Caledonia, WI, are areas that have been contaminated with hazardous substances. If not for the cleanup efforts orchestrated by the EPA, these sites could endanger people living in nearby communities.
The EPA uses the Hazardous Ranking System (HRS) to quantify the risk a contaminated site poses to human health and the environment. Sites assigned HRS scores of 28.5 or greater qualify for placement on the National Priorities List (NPL), and are eligible to receive federal funding for cleanup efforts.
Before the EPA deletes a site from the NPL, it conducts reviews to ensure the cleanup was sufficient. As a result, some sites remain on the active site list long after cleanup activities are complete.
For more information about the Superfund site located in the Racine, WI area, be sure to review the map and background information provided below:

Air Quality in the Racine, WI Area
The two most widespread forms of air pollution are ozone (smog) and particle pollution (soot). Exposure to these harmful pollutants, for even just a short period, can have adverse effects on your health.
Thanks to data collected by air monitoring equipment located across the country, the American Lung Association (ALA) is able to assess and track our air quality using three metrics:
In their 2019 annual report, the ALA rated the air quality in Racine County, WI as follows:
Ground-LevelOzone Pollution
Grading Scale: A-F
Short-TermParticle Pollution
Grading Scale: A-F
Year-RoundParticle Pollution
Grading Scale: Pass/Fail
DNC (Data Not Collected): Data on associated pollutants were not collected in this county or county equivalent.INC (Incomplete): Associated pollutants are being monitored in this county or county equivalent, but data were insufficient to assign a grade.
Radon Levels in Racine, WI Area
Air quality inside your home can be impacted by a number of factors, including the presence of hazardous substances in building materials (asbestos, lead, formaldehyde, etc.) and local radon levels.
Radon is a naturally occurring gas you cannot see or smell. It can build up inside your home and negatively impact your indoor air quality as well as your health.
To provide a guideline, the EPA assigned one of three zones to each U.S. county and county equivalent:
Indoor radon readings in Racine County, WI are expected to average from 2 to 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L), so the county has been assigned EPA Radon Zone 2.
EPA Radon Zone
According to the EPA, you should consider acting to reduce your home's radon level if it measures between 2 and 4 pCi/L, so if you're contemplating buying a home in Racine, WI, you should have a radon test performed.
Water Quality in Racine, WI Area
In accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the EPA sets regulatory limits for drinking water contaminants known to cause adverse health effects.
The following Racine County, WI water provider(s) violated the maximum allowable level for one or more regulated contaminants:
In addition to setting enforceable standards for harmful contaminants, the EPA also established guidelines to assist public water providers in managing the taste, odor and color of their drinking water.
To find out more about what's in your drinking water, contact your utility company and request a copy of the latest Consumer Confidence Report.

This is a historic moment for our country and from tomorrow all of the security operations will be in the hands of the Afghan security forces. – Hamid Karzai
KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan forces have taken over the lead from the U.S.-led NATO coalition for security nationwide, President Hamid Karzai announced Tuesday in a significant milestone in the 12-year war.
The announcement came amid a grim reminder of Afghanistan's daily violence. A few miles from where Karzai was speaking a bomb targeted a prominent lawmaker, missed him but killed three civilians.
In another key announcement, Karzai said he will soon send representatives to the Gulf state of Qatar to discuss peace with the Taliban. The talks in Doha would follow the planned opening of a Taliban political office in the Arab country.
The handover of responsibility marks a turning point for American and NATO military forces, which will now move entirely into a supporting role. It also opens the way for their full withdrawal in 18 months.
"This is a historic moment for our country and from tomorrow all of the security operations will be in the hands of the Afghan security forces," Karzai said at the ceremony, held at the new National Defense University built to train Afghanistan's future military officers.
On the ground, this means U.S. and other foreign combat troops will not be directly carrying the fight to the insurgency, but will advise and back up as needed with air support and medical evacuations.
The transition also comes at a time when violence is at levels matching the worst in 12 years, fueling some Afghans' concerns that their forces aren't ready.
Karzai said that in the coming months, coalition forces will gradually withdraw from Afghanistan's provinces as the country's security forces replace them.
In announcing the fifth and final phase of a process that began at a November 2010 NATO summit in Lisbon, Portugal, Karzai said "transition will be completed and Afghan security forces will lead and conduct all operations."
He also said he would send representatives of his High Peace Council to Doha for meetings with Taliban representatives once their office is open.
"We are hopeful that if the opening of the office is today or if tomorrow the negotiation for peace starts sooner between the High Peace Council and the Taliban," Karzai told reporters after the ceremony.
Karzai visited Qatar last week and discussed his country's stalled peace process and the possible opening of the Taliban office. Both Afghanistan and the United States support the opening as part of an effort to rekindle talks with the insurgent group. But first, Kabul and Washington say, the Taliban must renounce all ties to al-Qaida and other terrorist groups and accept Afghanistan's constitution.
"We are hopeful that after starting negotiations in Qatar, immediately the negotiations and all peace process should move into Afghanistan. Afghanistan shouldn't be center of the discussions outside of the country," Karzai said.
The Taliban have for years refused to speak to the government or the Peace Council, set up by Karzai three years ago, because they considered them to be American "puppets." Taliban representatives have instead talked to American and other Western officials in Doha and other places, mostly in Europe.
But there are indications the Taliban sent a message to Karzai late last month through the United States that they were now willing to talk to the peace council, and that American officials were trying to find ways to facilitate how the talks would take place.
"We don't have any immediate preconditions for talks between the Afghan peace council and the Taliban, but we have principles laid down," Karzai said, adding that they include bringing an end to violence and for talks to be moved to Afghanistan so they are not exploited by other countries.
Karzai also lauded the work of NATO to help Afghan forces reach the point where his military is ready to take responsibility for the country's security.
"This has been one of my greatest desires and pursuits. And I'm glad that I as an Afghan citizen and president have reached this objective today. To have the Afghan forces in command of themselves and in service of the country," Karzai said.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the coalition will help militarily if and when needed but will no longer plan, execute or lead operations.
Alliance training since 2009 dramatically increased the size of the Afghan National Security Forces, bringing them up from 40,000 men and women six years ago to about 352,000 today. After transition, coalition troops will move entirely into a supporting role — training and mentoring, and in emergency situations providing the Afghans backup in combat, mainly in the form of airstrikes and medical evacuation.
"Ten years ago, there were no Afghan national security forces. Five years ago, Afghan forces were a fraction of what they are today. Now you have 350,000 Afghan troops and police. A formidable force. And time and again, we have seen them dealing quickly and competently with complex attacks. Defeating the enemies of Afghanistan, and defending and protecting the Afghan people," Fogh Rasmussen said.
Afghans will now have the lead for security in all 403 districts of Afghanistan's 34 provinces. Until now, they were responsible for 312 districts nationwide, where 80 percent of Afghanistan's population of nearly 30 million lives. Afghan security forces were until now carrying out 90 percent of military operations around the country.
Foreign forces will continue to support Afghans on the battlefield when they require it, but the Afghan army and police will be responsible for planning and leading military operations against the insurgency.
"As your forces step forward across the country, the main effort of our forces is shifting from combat to support. We will continue to help Afghan troops in operations if needed. But we will no longer plan, execute or lead those operations. And by the end of 2014, our combat mission will be completed. At that time, Afghanistan will be fully secured by Afghans," Fogh Rasmussen said.
The handover paves the way for coalition forces — currently numbering about 100,000 troops from 48 countries, including 66,000 Americans — to leave. By the end of the year, the NATO force will be halved. At the end of 2014, all combat troops will have left and will replaced, if approved by the Afghan government, by a much smaller force that will only train and advise.
President Barack Obama has not yet said how many soldiers he will leave in Afghanistan along with NATO forces, but it is thought that it would be about 9,000 U.S. troops and about 6,000 from its allies.
"From 2015, a new chapter will begin. We need to sustain, and build on, the progress we have made. And NATO is ready to play its part, Fogh Rasmussen said.
Called "Resolute Support," Fogh Rasmussen said the goal of the new mission "is to train, advise and assist Afghan forces."
"Afghanistan does not stand alone, now or in the future," he added.
The U.S. and its allies have already pledged to fund the Afghan forces in the immediate years after 2015.
Miles from Tuesday's ceremony, a bomb attack targeted Afghan politician Mohammed Mohaqiq, a prominent ethnic Hazara lawmaker who is a former Cabinet member. He escaped the assassination attempt but the explosion killed three civilians, the police said.
Associated Press writers Amir Shah, David Rising, Rahim Faiez and Kay Johnson contributed to this report from Kabul.

The CTAN search provides some powerful features to express
the query. You can use these features to get better results. Some of the
features are described here. This feature list is by far not complete. It
will be extended when required.
Prefix Search
The search term is split into words. The search engine finds the items
containing all search terms at the beginning of words.
The comparison is performed case-insensitive.
This is the same as adding the wildcard character * to the end of all
Word-based Search
The search term is split into words. The search engine finds the items
containing all search terms as words. The order of the words just influences
the order of the hits. The comparison is performed case-insensitive.
Wildcard Search
The meta-characters
* and
? can be contained in
the search term to denote an arbitrary number of characters and a single
character respective.
Note that wildcards are not allowed at the beginning of a word.
Excluding words
Prefixing a word by
- or
NOT (in upper case) will
exclude all hits for this word from the results.
sudoku -related
sudoku NOT related
Boolean Combinations
A boolean query can be formulated with the operators
OR, and
Parentheses can be used to group sub-expressions.
tex AND NOT knuth
Fuzzy Search
If you are not sure about the spelling of your search you can initiate a
fuzzy search. For this purpose append a
~ to the search word.
This search also returns hits which are not literal matches but
variations thereof.
Note that fuzzy search usually returns lots of hits.
Thus be careful.
