A PS made of cream or burgundy silk will be a good option too.

Same here; sad really. I hope you were more appreciative than I (probably) was. Mom's rock, really..

I understand what you mean. Not my colours, though.

Makes me (almost) want to have children. Then common sense kicks in. But still, these pics make it more tempting than I would have thought possible!

I'll just echo what others have already said: pretty awesome thread! I know I may be pushing it here, but any chance you can post a pic of your lady in the final product?

Fair enough; understood.

Desalniettemin: prachtig verslag. Ik hoop dat zij er net zo blij mee is als al die kerels hier...

one of the best threads on the forum


if I may add, for that Polo, you might consider adding some of that pink liner along the bottom inside across the hem and side breaks. I find the inside bottom hem, especially the back takes a lot of wear and tear and it can also be used to reinforce the side "splits".

Nice one NOBD (or Mrs NOBD..?!) – I admire your approach and love these mini photo-essays. Keep them coming!
