It would give the sweater a retro look and feel, and solve your problem as well.

That would just give you that "puckered fabric centered on the bustline" look that so many tops have now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05395529462019206518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941389739676703659.post-88597306580648010322010-09-12T16:22:54.354-06:002010-09-12T16:22:54.354-06:00I wish I knew who posted the bedazzle comment:) Be...I wish I knew who posted the bedazzle comment:) Because it is awesome! I dunno if I will do that here, but, I do know the power of the bedazzler. I'll consider the boob bow...but I am afraid that may send the wrong message:).
