When did that become acceptable? My husband and I started in with that this past year and I've also said the same thing, "Why are we saying we're old; 50s aren't OLD, not in this day and age." Maybe you're onto something there with the creaky joints and, OMG, if I don't get sleep, I feel like I'm dead.<br /><br />Janet, you're not old. I'm not old.

For your body shape, (my two cents worth as a seamstress) , experiment a bit with a gentle curve inwards at the side seams. If there are princess seams down the front bustline - even better to tailor to follow your natural curves without being tight. Also, have the seamstress fit the sleeves slightly narrower. You might love it. And if not, you won't be out much. This is one of those vintagey remake garments that are difficult for companies to provide in today's market because "the look" was always done to fit individual bodies, never meant to be adapted to any sort of mass marketing. Thus, that tug of appeal you have for it.

Brocade is not supposed to "drape" -- it's a fabric with body that stands on its own. The texture is really interesting, and the blouson shape looks very good on you. You are very slim, and that shows in the tighter-fitting t-shirts you wear at other times, but this blouse creates a little bit of mystery. I also like that it's pretty plain -- I bet the bow on the back provides just the right bit of detail.

I look around my house and wonder how do two people accumulate so much stuff?<br /><br />I have to agree with the other comments, Larry chose a beautiful top but it does make your little body look bigger, at least in the picture anyway...awhile back I purchased a mother of the bride dress, loved it but not on me. (daughter agreed it made me look thick) A little more searching and I found the perfect dress that flatters my body so much more. I knew from my daughter and husband's reaction when I tried it on that it was THE one. :) Also if I am afraid I won't wear a particular article of clothing often enough, I try to calculate the cost per wear. Sometimes that is enough for me.<br /><br />Happy Birthday and Happy New Year!<br /><br />Linda<br />xo<br /><br />LRS4AMANDAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312878555775487787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-23234858358818793112014-01-01T13:53:48.741-08:002014-01-01T13:53:48.741-08:00Wow, I liked this reader's comment; really con...Wow, I liked this reader's comment; really constructive, and how not to upset the hubby, too.

If I'd read you were a grandmother before, it flew out the side of my head. It's so weird; I don't associate you with kids. I feel like you and Larry are this young, adventurous couple, doing things like camping in the desert and building your gardener's cottage nest...more like age 30s or something. I don't know where I come up with these things. I think it's because you act, 'talk,' think/look so much younger than your age, although age is just a number and, of course, in reality, most of us don't really "know" you even if we feel like we do!.Vickinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-20686602988425025012014-01-01T13:36:41.571-08:002014-01-01T13:36:41.571-08:00It's a really great photo.
