It's totally wrong. I love Tanit-Isis' idea of measuring outside. Great idea!Evie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838980250700215736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-4547860577368832342016-05-16T07:48:35.658-04:002016-05-16T07:48:35.658-04:00Ok that's just infuriating about the fabric st...Ok that's just infuriating about the fabric store short-changing you. Absolutely grounds for returning, but that is best done sooner rather than later. Bring a measuring tape. If you don't want to make things awkward in the store, measure right after you walk out and if it's short walk right back in. That's ridiculous. (One of our local indie fabric stores has this rep, too, though I think it depends on who does the cutting.)Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-85428815105472260502016-05-14T14:48:35.787-04:002016-05-14T14:48:35.787-04:00Oooh - I don't think I've ever noticed thi...Oooh - I don't think I've ever noticed this one before.

Or Tessuti, though they aren't usually for knits... How would you feel about that Named cocoon dress that ties in the front or back at the waist? Or, keeping it more classic, a Cashmerette wrap dress?
