You are so cute and chic! And above all, I miss you a lot!
Miss you too, Vanoue, and your beautiful smile
Great article! Learning to sew has been on my to do list for so many years. Creating your own garments can be such a liberating experience I really need to start sewing.

Hi Lily, great article! I love that you are becoming a worldwide phenomenon!
Interestingly, the same article that inspired you seems to have inspired another post, very similar to yours, on the Daily Life site: http://m.dailylife.com.au/dl-fashion/fashion-coverage/could-sewing-your-own-clothes-improve-your-body-confidence-20130902-2szpv.html
Interesting points. I recall looking at a Barbie dress in Miss Selfridge recently and the difference between the 6 and 16 was literally 1cm. It made me sick. Had I tried that on, I’d have been so annoyed at it not fitting, but when you realise it’s almost the same as 5 sizes smaller, it’s no surprise! Other than when I freaked out at going from a 12 to 14 years ago (was actually embarrassed to buy/try on clothes in that size), I couldn’t care less what the label says. I’m now mostly an 18/20, but like you say I have everything from a 14-22!
Great article
Perfectly Lilli sized! Can’t put it better.
You’ve inspired me to enrol in a beginners dressmakers course at Adult Ed – time to finally learn how to use that sewing machine! thanks Lilli
I can totally relate to what you say in your article. I am currently learning how to make my own clothes and it is truly liberating!
