There was a cuter cropped cardigan on a model in the same group. But since it was a crochet pattern and I didn't know how to crochet, I never made it. I might someday. I'm learning to knit. :) I still have that magazine! There was a cuter cropped cardigan on a model in the same group.

The trend, as I recall, was to be as thin as possible while wearing clothes that COMPLETELY concealed said thinness under a circus tent of fabric. It just occurred to me: did this same sensibility transfer from women's fashion in the 80s to men's fashion in the 90s/today and result in those asinine-looking baggy pants that "gangsta"-wannabees wear? Personally, I think the only message communicated by that style is "I'm too stupid to be able to select pants that fit me", but then again, I'm no gangsta. Very 80′s.
