I would not have thought of leaving the lower edge of the front yoke facing to hang free, but it works perfectly here, especially with your lovely bound edges. I'm going to have to keep this in mind.

It works with all the traditional shoe colours and most of the colour spectrum. (in fact I have a sixties advice to girls book which puts it with the standard wardrobe neutrals). And it makes paler skinned blue-eyed people look spectacular. Unfortunately for me it's the current colour my daughter is hollowing out from my wardrobe. <br /><br />In short,another lovely piece, which should go well with your coat.<br /><br />Also, on a side note, or maybe a side bar, you made my day yesterday when I saw my blog on yours!Galicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02519903563732502732noreply@blogger.com
