Wow! :chuckle: No back, no sides, front plunges down almost to the waist... they must think it's interesting enough ;^) Velen, You've got the easy one! :) The halter top looks right. It would be great if there could be some gathers under the bust. It also gathers at the back of the neck, but that isn't as important. I haven't had a chance to work with this yet, but Joe Grover said something about fixed points when he was showing how to add fluidity to a flag. Can the waistband be "fixed" in place, so that the sway of the garment comes from the hips? What you've got is real graceful, and also has potential for nightwear with the right textures. Thank you! :) Phil, Pretty close on the drapey thing, and you pounced on the hint of a train in the red one. :) The drapey sleeve whatzit is unusual... which is why I bought the pattern. The drapes attach to the bodice fronts. They are flat panels except for a short bit of closure which allows them to function as a sleeve if the arm has been inserted. There is nothing linking the shoulders in Version C. I'll sketch the back, too. The sides really are bare... the bodice connects about an inch in front of the side seams. The front does plunge all the way to the waistband. I need to get a couple hours sleep (Skrogg just came in) and some aspirin, and then I can decipher the pattern with clear eyes. So many thanks for tackling this one! {hugs} Carolly
