Do you have any sugestions for adjustments I should make and what about sizing issues e.g. is a 1996 size 8 equal to a 2016 size 8? By the way thank you so much for your blog. I have not been well recently and reading all your articles has really helped to take my mind off things a bit.

I love the Cardi/jacket and accompanying dress! Both so classic and chic, and can be worn together or separately for many uses.

It shouldn't take too long, and it would be practically invisible. The match on that button is inspired. ParisGrrlnoreply@blogger.com
