... But I'm too tired to wear it cause I spent most of the day cleaning my room. The posing and review will have to wait, but I thought I'd give my loyal readers a look at it on the form. The jacket is quite heavy but wearing it feels wonderful. Knowing me (and I think I do...) this jacket will probably be casual-ized. I'll wear it open, except if I want to be 'preppy'... and I'll let you know if that ever happens!
A look at the woven pink in the fabric...
Here's a close up of the front. I chose to end the chain 2" away from the opening due to the extra weight of the buttons on the left, and also the right ruffle.
And thank you both, Melissa and Nancy, it was good to hear I'm not alone. I will try and make something simple- as soon as this wardrobe is done :-))
Wow! That jacket is absolutely STUNNING! I love the lapels and the sleeves! And the ruffle on the front is quite fab! Congrats on winning the belt! That really completes the look! I think Mademoiselle herself would approve!
ReplyDeleteYou have TOTALLY outdone yourself!!! That is one of the most gorgeous jackets I've ever seen. I wish I could come visit you and see it in person. I can't wait to see you model it. :-)
ReplyDeleteStunning jacket. You did a marvelous job and can't wait to see you model it. Congrats on winning the belt. Really, what did we do before the internet? We sure couldn't have this wonderful sewing community and share all these wonderful creations.
ReplyDeleteOh, it is so beautiful! If taking your time and being a perfectionist means you come up with stunning garments like this, then don't change! :))
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely divine! There aren't enough words to describe how beautiful and unique this jacket is. I'm head-over-heels in love with the collar and cuffs! It's better than Chanel IMHO! As Vicki said, if taking your time and being a perfectionist results in this, don't change!
ReplyDeleteIt's just as stunning as I knew it would be. What a wonderful job you did. Now it's time to make something simple!
ReplyDeleteThis is glorious, absolutely glorious! I love it to death and congratulations on such a perfect and difficult jacket! Can't wait to see a pic of you wearing it.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning and clearly worth every single minute you put in to it.
ReplyDeleteNOthing to add to all previous comments. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou amaze me! Seriously, this could be hanging on the rack in any Chanel store for $3K. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHi Birgitte, a short note to let you know I passed awards to you on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your sewing adventures, Sigrid
Stunning! Wow! I would love to see this on you. Isn't the internet fabulous? I really don't know what we did before.
ReplyDeleteThis is just unbelievably good work, you should not feel that you spend too long on your garments, it's time well spent!
ReplyDeleteWow, that jacket is amazing! Just fabulous! The cuffs and collar are quite special.
