However, I think they would look good with a shorter (think mid-thigh) tunic style dress. Since you're on the instant gratification train right now, you could always whip up another, shorter version, right? :)amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029076436322883513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-2226771823852733852010-07-29T19:21:38.382-04:002010-07-29T19:21:38.382-04:00O.k., agreed the 80's were not the best of tim...O.k., agreed the 80's were not the best of times in the fashion world, but I too recently bought a pair of leggings with movies like "Pretty in Pink" and "The Breakfast Club" in the back of my mind.

My mother brought me some maternity leggings and they were the most comfortable things I'd ever worn. I totally lived in them afterwards, although I most of the times just did wear them like they were maillots, with boots and dresses.<br />Anyway, you look wonderful!Karin van D.http://www.themrs.eunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-39634363256736931592010-07-27T15:12:18.298-04:002010-07-27T15:12:18.298-04:00Nice work and a skillful reinterpretation.

Ugh. I graduated high school in 1980. So I lived through the 80's the first time around.

I'm loving the dress, although it may never get worn with the leggings - too many flashbacks!<br /><br />Retthi - to move the darts I did just remove the width at the side seam, but since the darts are shaped, I measured the total width of the dart at several points to make sure that the shaping was maintained.KID, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317731987862366557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-26946330824715623812010-07-27T11:14:31.045-04:002010-07-27T11:14:31.045-04:00Cute!

I'm with you, though, on not being totally sure about it. They're cute, though. I think I just have (like you) residual 80's emotions about the whole thing (sort of like how my mom was totally horrified by the trend in the early 90's for retro 60's styles I guess-- she was totally unhappy with my cateye glasses)Beangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402852482784879141noreply@blogger.com
