Puffed Sleeves!

This is a Jonathan Martin dress that my mom thrifted for me.  On the hangar, it looked like it was going to hang down to my navel!  But instead, it's the only wrap-type top that I haven't had to sew shut in order to avoid flashing people by accident.  Plus it has puffed sleeves! 

True, they start around mid-arm, but I bet Anne Shirley would still be pleased.  Matthew would have gotten it for her in a second.  (See Anne of Green Gables if the above confused you.)  All in all, this dress fit amazingly well.  Much better than it photographed.  Of course, I am sort of doing a weary housefrau pose, so some of the blame lies with me.
