Many designs from the 1930's, 1940's, and into the 1950's make use of this fitted midriff and empire waistline style. It's also a style you've never exactly seen me tackle before! So today I'm showing you how to modify the standard darted bodice block into one of these raised waist midriff focused styles. This one also has a silly little zipper and cute puffed sleeves, but because it's me...I didn't bother to do the pocket! I'm just not a pocket gal either...

But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!
First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!
