OSTRICH
(The fastest bird on land famed for its exotic feathers and killer kicks!)
An exotic skirt and blouse ensemble with a kick! The skirt shape is a modified A-line shape. (To camouflage fuller hips, have your seamstress cut the skirt joining seam higher up.)
A halter neck is the sure surgery free option for a small bosom and is great at concealing broad shoulders.
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
Fabrics that are ideal for this outfit are linen, cotton or bazaar.
1 ½ metres of black double width fabric is needed for the outfit together with two metres of the contrast. (The taller and fuller the figure, the more the fabric required)
