Sorry for the delay - I didn't end up doing the actual sew-along because the pattern didn't come for quite a long time! As far as I know, Uniform Project haven't released patterns for the other versions (if that's what you mean by the two-piece) but I think you can still buy the pattern here: https://theuniformproject.com/upweb/#!store/item?Classic-LBD-Pattern,2 Hope that helps!

When i asked which one, still staring in his eyes he turned quickly. he never answered me. now when i go in the chair i feel he is staring but close up. now this makes me uneasy. I feel like hes coming onto me or something. I look away and i no it bothers him. so i spoke to a german friend, who said look in his eyes alittle but not to long when your in the chair. if i look to long i scare him, if i look not enough its no respect, so for about 10 seconds or longer. he said you can trust each other then. so hope this helps everyone i am english and have a new german dentist. when i walked into the office and looked at him direct to ask for help and show him my bad tooth he said id need it pulled out.

I heard about UP several months ago, but cannot find the LBD pattern or any current information about it.... Have you heard anything more or know where I might get a pattern for the two-piece version? Thanks! Hello Elena -

Honestly, I don't know where they get that idea. Some guy on the train seated a few rows further off is staring at you unflinchingly, to show respect? Neighbors peering off balconies and out of windows, out of respect? No, I think it's nosiness mainly, and also I get the feeling it's just something their society never really made any rules about. Like in other western countries we are told as kids "don't stare, it's rude", as kind of an unwritten rule in society. I think they just don't have that, even though some of them would consider it rude as well. Some other commentators say it’s a sign of respect. Honestly, I don’t know where they get that idea.
