> But so much easier to take in than let out, isn't it? Not if you have changed shape or gone down more than a dress size:)
Your proportions change and often shoulders and armscyes are the hardest to reshape after taking in elsewhere. It's often easier to make a new sloper etc than refit an old one. Last time I lost a lot of weight due to exercising and extremely restricted calories I totally changed shape and my forn still reflects it. My hips got narrower and my sholders broader. I really need to cut my dummy down and reshape the hips and shoulders. > Betsy, (with the same problem in the opposite direction, but resolved to > remedy the situation this year!! Using Walking/archery/low-carbs so far) Heh, I just rely too much on bread as a protein substitute. As a vegetarian I find protein sources either too expensive, too chemically enhanced or too filling (combining for full protein.) I do love tofu though so I may look into some more options to use it other than the obvious. Yay for it being summer here, I can eat salad until it comes out of my ears. And for the costume content: I need to lose a couple of kilos so I can happily wear a pretty dress or two for some singing comps in April. Two songs in costume! Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again for the musical theatre and What Would I Do for the G&S. Nice contrasting pieces, both options for costume I wanted to do for ages! http://costumes.glittersweet.com/phantom/wishing.htm I've had the fabric since 2001 for the purpose but had no reason to make it. The other will be an early 18thC Mantua:) Or 1780s ensemble.. it depends on what is closer to the original concept of The Grand Duke. And now I need to decide on a song for the restricted section and possibly a sacred song... I don't want to do more than 4 classes. michaela http://costumes.glittersweet.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
