When I first made this jumper, I was so thrilled. It was probably the first thing I ever made with a lining (I guess I made it about three years ago). The zipper looked great. The fabric is a darling corduroy print, black with little red and gray dots. The lining is deep red and a bit of it pokes out around the neckline. A mistake but it looks like piping and I think it is cool.
But eventually I realized it is too tight across the bust and the hips. And the corduroy hangs straight out from the hips and looks silly, I think, especially when it's hugging the high hip and behind. I love corduroy, but I will be careful about what patterns I use with it from now on.
