Lily Chin

I was reading Lily Chin's article, i think it was in Vogue knitting silver anniversary issue or something. I finally figured out why despite all her efforts at fitting, shaping, couture and the wonderful 'how to trick the eye to make you look good' article, i really don't like many of her patterns cos they're extremely unflattering. I figure most designers' have to start from what they know and know most about themselves so in a way design for themselves. Maybe i don't like many lily chin designs not because she's a crap designer but because i have the complete opposite figure type to her. Eg, she is skinny with big hips and tiny boobs, I'm not skinny (lets call it curvaceous) and i have tiny hips and really big boobs! Thus things that look good on Lily Chin (or her slightly perfected mental reference figure that she designs for) are almost guaranteed to look crappy on me!

That, and, i have the bead book and some of the designs in there are crap! Hey, everyone has their bad days! :D
