I can't believe...

The number of truly hideous patterns out there for short evening dresses. This one-->
is literally the best one I could find for my no-waisted self. The one in the middle with all the ruffles on the bum. See, those of us with flat derrieres can carry off stuff on the caboose, unlike the more heavy hipped lasses.

But I digress. All I could find on the premiere site for sewing patterns (that would be sewingpatterns.com, in case anyone is interested in viewing the hideousness) is a bunch of patterns for bridal party separates. All in those insipid spring pastels and gorge raising florals. Save me from Laura Ashley!

I couldn't even find anything in the Vogue pattern section, and they usually have at least some amusing stuff, at the very least. Obviously, I need to pattern shop in fall or winter, or even around Hallowe'en to get the good stuff. FEH, I say!
