I hear you on the "flattering" comment. I didn't use to think twice about throwing it out there but it really can be damaging. Is my body so wrong that it needs to be flattered? Are other things I wear not flattering? Good points.

Yes, choosing fabric is still such a challenge. It is so difficult for me to envision what things will look like!

Love your dress! I’m with KS re: flattering. So other things I wear look “less attractive?” Or is it “This somehow makes me look MORE attractive than I really am?”

Your intro post is me, exactly. I have given up trying to tell non-sewers that I'm not "creative" or a "designer"...I'm highly technical. Construction of a garment is a very technical process.

I also prefer baking to cooking...so exact. I love it! :)

And do.not.get.me.started!! Flattering is so loaded. I won't even use it. Because we ALL know what the underlying intent is the vast majority of the time! I have a full rant for my future post on the Grainline Felix. It's a cute, roomy design. I, for one, don't care if it may, GASP!, make it appear as if I have a belly! The horrors! Fat on my body!!!! :eyeroll: I wear what I like. Maybe it isn't "flattering"...and? Does that matter if it makes me cheese when I look in the mirror? It really does not.

Your Named dress is super duper fantastic and awesome!

I agree with you on several points on this post! ...

I agree with you on several points on this post! People always comment on what a great cook I am... but I just follow the recipe. I could never compete on cooking show. Same with sewing... follow the directions (or substitute from books). Choosing fabric and style for me is the hardest thing I do. And, flattering? It's loaded. Some styles suit some people and not others. What's flattering on you may not be on me and vice versa.
