The result is perhaps not exactly what you like, but I would definitely wear this. It's good to wear.

I love this jacket on you! I have made this before and was unhappy that they didn't include a facing piece. I decided to make a facing of the fabric out of which I made the jacket. I did iron it in more of a circle before applying to the neckline and it did seem to work fairly well. I hope you will give it another try because you really have the fit down and the style looks SO very nice on you.

What a great save. I know you were unhappy with the original version, but this has turned out to be flattering and versatile.

"Tale of Two Cardies"'s a cute twist on Dickens, eh!! Great "save"!! (I, too, lose my "waist" with this style... Oh well, Mahler has it now ;) )

I think it looks great. I will check out your blog as I don't think it's one I've seen before, and we appear to have similar body types.

with all the thought and work you put into this garment it would be a shame for you NOT to make another one. the results speak for themselves!
