Are They Really All That Amazing?

My guest-blogger-to-be is currently driving across our fair country on her way to a new job in Jersey. Needless to say, it's a bit difficult to write a blog entry when you're supposed to be driving. So we'll get her pattern review when she lands in the Garden State, no doubt. In the meantime, a round of applause for Ann and her new job in this bleak economy!

As we near the end of the basement reno (built-ins are being built, including my sewing area!) I'm starting to plan for some spring work wear. Before I get all excited about this lofty promise of an amazing fit, though, I want to know if this Simplicity line lives up to its title. Does the fit of these garments really leave one amazed?
