My taste in clothes is very tailored so they're always in style. I was making clothes of complementary fabrics--both sleeves different prints, skirt and bodice different etc. way before it was vogue. I got teased that I didn't have enough money to buy enough "material". My granddaughter's latest purchase had the zipper sewed on the outside of the garment, different buttons, etc. Like in quilting, anything is acceptable today, even the fit. I say, "GO FOR IT." Just follow each step carefully, understanding before cutting.
