| lilyofthevalley | 8/31/08 | Brava, Cindy! You have taken a very nice jacket and turned it into a boutique designer piece. And each of your design additions (the sleeve peplums, the vertical ruffle, and the lining from the smashing fabric) enhances both the garment and your body type. You look smashing! And beautiful drafting/finishing of your lining. A future Coco Chanel, I think. Lovely, Lily |

| Annette1 | 8/31/08 | You have COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED this pattern, and for the better, I might add! You upped the cuteness factor about 500%. :o) I LOVE all of your changes: the cute polka-dot silk lining, the GORGEOUS ruffles, your 3/4 ruffles sleeves, every single thing. This is right up my alley. And I'm ALWAYS on the lookout for nice cotton brocade. :o) PERFECT! |

| AnneM | 9/3/08 | Very cute style. Hah, maybe YOU can make the base pattern in a weekend; doubt I could. Not surprised your changes made it take longer than that, of course. Fun, up to date jacket. |
