Meet Ms. Marigold
Here is Ms. Marigold, in all her glory. She fits pretty well and I love the feel of the yarn. I am, however a little afraid that because it is so soft will stretch out easily, a pity only because I like my clothes slutty snug. The somewhat ill-fated Tubey suffered from this and ended up a bit lumpy. This is meant as a layering piece, so it should be less of an issue. I was very lucky to have leftover yarn in a similar texture; even though it is heavier it matched up well enough. It will be good to wear in the shop, since it always seems to be a temperature inhospitable to human life in there.
Owl Update: I ripped out the old zipper and put in a normal lapped one last night. This, combined with a bit of fudging around the hips seems to have fixed the problem. Too bad zipper removal is so ravaging to fabric... It shouldn't be too noticable since I took a little trick from the days when I was a photographer and spot-toned with a black sharpie. All those white threads now blend right into the dark background. I just have to add a hook and eye and it is wearable once again!

I have that Marigold on my to-do list. It really does look great on you. I wish my waist was teeny like yours. Oh well, perhaps I could sew a corset??
