I feel so rough
I'm finding menswear (or modified menswear) more and more alluring. If When I get back to something resembling my former shape (that is, something with a well-defined waist and less chance of overflowing my waistband), more of my wardrobe will incorporate menswear styles. I started it a bit this winter with button-down shirts and vests and jackets. I think I'd like to develop it further and start using fabrics that are seen as traditionally male. Check out this helpful guide to menswear in general, that also includes some handy tips on fabric (and ordering a bespoke suit).
This is brilliant:
Someone mentioned the move We Bought a Zoo to me this weekend and then it showed up on my Tumblr dash this morning. I think it's a sign I need to watch this movie.
An Avengers summary showed up on my dash, too, and it was so good I reblogged it.
Ikind of really seriously want to see Magic Mike. Erm. *cough* Who wants to try to catch a showing with me this week? My weekend is 100% booked, so it'll have to be a weeknight. I can't say I expect this to stay in the theater for very long, so sooner is probably better.
I need to talk about Serious Stuff, but it's Campbell Conference Crunch Time and the office is closed on Wednesday for the Fourth (I hate that). Not much time to get a lot of stuff done this week.

Burda has/had an amazing women's tux pattern a few years ago. I should have bought it.

I have heard horror stories about Burda patterns.

Yeah, I've heard not great things about Burda patterns, but I think a lot of the issues are not necessarily the patterns themselves, but the different construction techniques from American patterns. Maybe? I have a few Burda patterns that I want to try, but no point in making new clothes until my shape stops fluctuating.

Yeah, I don't know if we actually own any; it's been years since we went through our *ahem* extensive collection of stuff that we've planned to make (like my Rule 63 Nightwing).
