TV Stuff

So I watched RHPS - Let's Do The Time Warp Again last night. Thought it was pretty good, and avoided the problem that's messed up every other NBC production (casting people who can't sing for singing parts, people can sing but can't act for acting parts - basically seeming to value star power much over ability or fitting the part). It helped that it wasn't quite as "live" as the others, and that the original is basically the campiest thing ever so it's not being compared to a polished movie musical.

Is anyone else watching Westworld? ( thoughts )

New Black Mirror is interesting. ( stuff )

Oh no, I was pretty sure I would be good with three pens, which is really one too many (I have designated my first pen as "fiction pen", the two others are "office pen" and "journal pen"), and yet now I'm looking at a vintage Eversharp with a good flex nib. My life D:

I need some advice

I have this light blue poly/wool suiting, a very thin, smooth fabric. My two options, given the length I bought*, are:

- Simplicity 8050

or

- Butterick B5813.

The latter I've made before:



It's really unflattering. If I use the pattern again, I'm going to do the FBA again to add more ease to the bust. But is there anything else you can see that would make this better? Should the horizontal seam hit fully under the bust, or is that where it's meant to be? (The sleeves are also hella tight, but that's okay as they're from another pattern so I won't be using them.) Should I abandon this pattern as not working with my body, and go with the first one?

* although some patterns that call for a bit more could work with less, since I can take ~2" off the bottom of most skirts even before fitting

ETA: I can't get over how bizarre the bridge of my nose looks in that picture, wtf.
