Prolonged sitting may have been involved also, as pressure can cause inflammation. Perhaps a bit of daily aimless wandering around the house might be in order and maybe a better cushion.

Of course fhe most important thing is to do exactly what you want. I love Anne Hanson and the details of her Dock and Cabin are scrumptious but I am not sure you would be well-served by that deep vee neckline without some accompanying detail to fill it out. From what I remember of what you may have said in the past about your body type (and we all have a type of some kind and I for one tend to be overly sensitive about mine and therefore proceed gingerly when addressing other people's), it seems to me that you would feel most comfortable in an a-line silhouette. If I remember correctly about this, then I would choose something like Versaci's "Pour Moi" which also seems roomy but not too much so. The cardigan band might be too wide for your taste but you could easily modify that. I also love the Ancasta bodice with the cables but not sure of the rest of it. Hard to tell from the pictures. Of course you have lots of time to have fun and explore whatever YOU like, so mostly I just say, go for it! chloeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-10816381317794495392017-02-09T12:35:51.177+00:002017-02-09T12:35:51.177+00:00Very happy to hear that you are on the mend!

You can see her website @www.versaciknits.com or on Ravelry as Versaciknits. She likes simple lines but often designs big sweaters with fitted shoulders & necks or narrow sleeves. She's designed Zen, The Boyfriend, Yuki, Tiramisu & Suit.Sharon in Surreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864797100804511728noreply@blogger.com
