I've never done anything like that before. As long as it didn't end up too clingy, it might work! Thanks for the suggestion. That’s an interesting idea… I’ve never done anything like that before.

Reminds me of lounging on the deck at the cottage with a tea in the wee hours of the morning before the kids get up. I suppose that could become reality if the weather would get up past 20 and no rain here. Unusual for Southern Ontario ...but i'm not complaining! Lovely set.

Maybe on a closer-fitting one, though. I can’t really picture how elastic in the darts would work, but I don’t think it would be necessary on something that’s already so roomy.

Oh, and I made "american flag" bandana pants for my boy last year and they were not dorky at all.
