... or something like that. This fabric just screams modern to me. Actually, as it hangs on the dress form sans sleeves, the term bullet-proof vest comes to mind...
It's a loose, bulky wool boucle with black taffeta strips stitched on top. My trim choices have gone out the window at this point so back to square one. Which means; more shopping for me :) There can not be anything frilly about this jacket, the trim will be selected after I attach the sleeves and test pockets. The good news is I'm starting to get the hang of the Chanel construction technique, everything is moving along at a brisk pace. Could there be one for moi in the near future?
Really interesting fabric - so who is the lucky recipient of this jacket if it's not for you?
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing fabric. Where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteWow, your fabric is something else. Can't wait to see how you trim it.

Maybe a metal trim? Like a chain of square links? Just an idea. Cool fabric!

ReplyDeleteHow is the Michael Jackson coat progressing? Did I somehow miss that update?
I agree with poster above, I thought metal trim when seeing this and came to post that.
