Today I'm enjoying this section of Maggie Righetti's Sweater Design in Plain English:
"Preventing Knitwear Disasters: A Quick Quiz". For example:
Outerwear - what kind of color or style of winter coat can I wear over this sweater? (Only a cape will fit over dolman sleeves!) Great - that dolman and cape combo I've been working on will be just the thing!
Did you take accurate measurements of the body at the places that will be covered by the sweater? Why does this sound so weird?
Have I placed all color changes and highlighting in the most flattering places? Have I avoided placing designs or color patches or pockets over the breasts so that they won't look like pasties on a striptease dancer? Um - Maggie, have you ever seen pasties?
Have I designed the most flattering bustline for the wearer? Will the design spread over the breasts, making them appear vulgar? Well, we certainly don't want vulgar breasts!

Seriously, Maggie has helped us tremendously in our various endeavors here at KnitWit, so I shouldn't poke fun...but I'm procrastinating on getting my class schedule done and needed a diversion.
