I have a dress that has horizontal stripes on the bust, but then the skirt is cut on the bias, so the stripes run diagonal. I think whatever makes sense for the wearer and the stripe is best! And your skirt looks great! Very stylish! I bet you'll get lots of miles out of it.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258632543894619198.post-43981738677236517042011-09-05T19:36:15.960-07:002011-09-05T19:36:15.960-07:00Hilarious!

So, in answer to your question,<br />i absolutely think it matters the direction of the stripe...no horizontals on top for me, but I could do horizontals on the bottom because of my body type...which would make me a perfect zebra, I guess.Lynnebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574595306598710412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258632543894619198.post-8362317790761191832011-09-04T06:10:20.554-07:002011-09-04T06:10:20.554-07:00I'm not quite sure who would cut those zebra s...I'm not quite sure who would cut those zebra stripes in the manner the fabric company intended...I know I wouldn't!!
