Would it be hard to take it in or recut it as a small? As for the striped fabric for the reverse, is it wide enough to cut the pieces across the fabric so that the stripes go vertically? 2/1/08 4:51 PM

Judging from the way the models are all holding their arms in the pattern pics, I'd guess the ones they're wearing are the same. Thus, just a feature of the design. To me, it really looks fine as I assume it's going to be outerwear. I would nix the horizontal stripes on the reverse, though. 2/1/08 6:07 PM
