The problem I have is finding shirts with comfortable modest necklines that don't restrict my neck. Because my torso is so short, and I'm uncomfortable (physically) with things laying at or on my neck, it is hard to find any v-neck shirts that don't come down to my bra line in the middle of my chest. And boat neck or scoop neck shirts just make me look wide. (Picture a running back for just about any NFL team, only with a much "curvier" chest). *sighs* Someday.Bethanynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-21016097467627844732011-05-17T13:59:09.268-04:002011-05-17T13:59:09.268-04:00Okay Cam,

Add a second hem with desired fabric like the hem of a petticoat showing. Don't add the fabric on top but from behind. Add a bit of trim for extra flare and your wardrobe will explode. :) I know you can make the unwearable wearable. You have the power and imagination to fix your problem clothes.Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970843028240002613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-49040751091087234132011-05-17T12:19:21.978-04:002011-05-17T12:19:21.978-04:00I can definitely relate to the mommy curves shorte...I can definitely relate to the mommy curves shortening dresses. :)<br /><br />Have you considered a longer slip underneath? There are slips that are made with darling lace, ruffled or just plane hemlines that are intended to be seen and length the skirt with an extra sweet layer. You can buy them at places like Vintage Hem (www.vintagehem.com) but I know you could sew your own!melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677295427283294982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-60579742864452444482011-05-17T09:53:51.815-04:002011-05-17T09:53:51.815-04:00Can I hope that this means that short me will find...Can I hope that this means that short me will find dresses at JC Penney's that don't come down to my ankles??? If I went into the junior's section (not likely at my age) I'm sure I'd have problems like yours, but in the women's section the dresses are generally way too long and the petite's section (where I really belong) rarely has any dresses at all. I'm so sad that Fashion Bug went out in our area because it was about the only place that I routinely could find dressy clothes that fit properly.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127202199834183627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-34341136361427497912011-05-17T09:27:17.716-04:002011-05-17T09:27:17.716-04:00Would you be interested in joining our blog author...Would you be interested in joining our blog authors?<br /><br />http://associationofcatholicwomenbloggers.blogspot.com/<br /><br />email rosary@blueyonder.co.ukJackie Parkes MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693505024823229152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-14018757639541753262011-05-17T08:53:36.618-04:002011-05-17T08:53:36.618-04:00It's alright, Cam.

It's so much more comfortable to be wearing something just a tad bit longer! Hang in there! (That's the nice thing about making your own skirts/dresses-you control the length! :) )<br /><br />I'll keep praying for your results on the x-rays!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373112610985536284noreply@blogger.com
