I almost declined testing Heather's newest pattern for Closet Case Files , the Sallie Jumpsuit/Maxi , because it looked sooooooo farrrrrrrr outside my comfort zone. Jumpsuit? Excuse me, what? Long, flowy dress? Hmmm, don't think I've ever spotted one in my closet. But I took a chance and accepted. It wasn't that I didn't like the line drawings or concept. It just it didn't seem like me. And it didn't seem like me because I had always, always, always stayed away from those styles. But if what if they were for me? As I contemplated what to respond to Heather, I put myself in my private fantasy version of " What Not to Wear ". I could hear myself telling Stacy and Clinton, " but I never wear maxi dresses! I'm short, I can't wear them ." I could almost feel Stacy rolling her eyes as she forced several maxi styles in my hands and pushed me into the dressing room. Out I appeared in a long, flowy and ridiculously comfortable knit...
