Sometimes a belt (atop both cardi and dress) can help, as can tying the front (Daisy Duke shirt style), but the best route often is trying to track down cropped cardis and shrugs (love shrugs!) like you said. <br /><br />You look so cute here and that cardi is certainly miles better than plenty of modern ones (no handkerchief hems, huzzah!), fear not. :)<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676620122743768137.post-78470069750900826292012-12-10T08:15:06.444-05:002012-12-10T08:15:06.444-05:00Have you tried Casey's cardigan refashion tuto...Have you tried Casey's cardigan refashion tutorial? http://blog.caseybrowndesigns.com/2009/12/how-to-refashion-a-cardigan/<br />I haven't yet, but am planning on doing quite a few of my modern cardigans that way. Especally since I am short waisted and even vintage cropped cardigans fit a little long on me.(Well, if the one I have is any indication that is)Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784610736357161420noreply@blogger.com
