Hmm, I like the "gathered" look to Contessa!
It's so hard to judge by even pictures, I thought, it had a similiar look to my LM, but, let me go take another look.....
I'm wondering if maybe you close the drawstings a little, that's how you get that look? If you go to Jackie's website, the drawstings I thought were closed tightly to get that pretty effect.
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong? Perhaps it won't gather as much either way.
I guess, I'll just have to wait and see when it arrives! It would be hard for Cornflower to shed light on because she doesn't have a LM to compare it too...
