Patchwork Design Elements - IDK?

The fashion design influences of the 1970s have certainly been making its mark in the ateliers of current design houses.  Everything from wide-leg pants, a-line skirts, gauchos (aka culottes), maxi-dresses, ponchos, peasant-style, etc. can been seen on the runways and in clothing stores.

I'm Almost a Good Wife

While this zipper set-back seriously cut into my "sewjo" and motivation to complete GW, I was able to complete most of its construction.
