I'm familiar with asymmetric necklines (the color photograph on Cynthia Virtue's page to which I referred the original poster has one, in fact). But the black and white photo in question appears to have an extra band appearing in the middle of what looks like a *symmetrical* neckline. Definitely a bad camera angle, that. :-) -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Physics is like sex; sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it."--Richard Feynman _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
