Red Dotted Outfit and the 80s
Remember this outfit? It's from my first blog. I wanted to update it because it screams the 80s. I do like it but didn't wear it often, so it is still in very good condition. I haven't done anything with it, but I did have good intentions.
I had asked for suggestions and many were given, here and in e-mails.
Sew(very)Creative and FirePhrase said that the 80s were back and I might want to think twice about this.
Last week I found proof of this. Here is a blog entry showing a new McCall's pattern which has similarities. Note that one view on the pattern I used even has a tie collar. Note that this McCall's top is also in red!

I was looking at the close up of the collar in the original post - can it be just turned in and tacked down to change the neckline? If the neckline was streamlined, a big black statement necklace might look really nice.
If you wanted to go uber fancy, I'll bet you could toss on a widish black belt ~ I just saw a look JUST like that in one of my magazines. But really, I don't think you even need to do that (just thought it might be fun to do)!
You really and truly look great!!!
I can get away with a medium wide belt, even though I'm short, because I am long waisted.
Thanks for another great comment!
I really thought I would have gotten to this outfit by now, but darn internet keeps interferring.
