Sending out an SOS

Hello! On this sad (for us), good (for Bruce) day when tickets for The Boss's Wembley show sold out before we could get any, here is a cheeeery jumpsuit! 

I was a bit under the weather on Monday, which gave me a chance to realise MY VISION. Which was of this super alphabet fabric from new-to-me shop Fabworks, combined with the Sallie/Hudson jumpsuit. MY VISION turned out to need testing and new glasses... 


Oh woe. Definitely more Alpha-Barney than Alpha-Betty.

More of a chumpsuit than a jumpsuit ho HO! I didn't make much change to the pattern after my last version of this, apart from to extend the trouser rise by 1" to circumvent the wedgie problem I had with the last one. And it STILL wasn't enough. I guess I have a relatively long torso - like a chimp. This is a better fit, but for the next version (I fancy one in something from Fabworks's animal print selection!) I'll raise it a bit more.

Let's see a fabric close-up - the fabric is really nice!


Can you read the top row please? Oh my poor "i"s...

I tried to get a photo of my bum in this jumpsuit which didn't make it look like a distended sack of scrabble tiles, but, like getting a Bruce at Wembley ticket without first getting it on with a roadie,

let's

NOT

ASK 

THE 

IMPOSSIBLE


I'll take a P please.

Anyway, although this may not be the world's most successful garment (unflattering, a bit see-through, just generally a bit weird), it sure is Born for Fun, Dancing in the Park, and Glory Days! So wrap your legs round these velvet rims, and strap your hands 'cross my engines!
