Barbara V said... Great coat. It does appear different from the pattern view, but oh so nice. It has a very warm and cozy look and nice fit too. 11/19/09 5:40 PM
DorothyK said... Looks fantastic. Would it be nice in a woven wool? 11/19/09 6:06 PM
kkkkaty said... thx for the generally positive review, I have this in my stash and like the look of the pattern 11/19/09 6:25 PM
moushka said... Nice to see your version, Ann. Looks very cozy, perfect for Canadian winters although a little warm for California. It would be lovely in a lighter fabric. 11/19/09 6:44 PM
marec said... I'm thrilled to see this pattern made up. It appeals to me but I cannot wear that style. Your new fleece soccer coat is beautiful and fits you well. 11/19/09 7:28 PM

CarolynGM said... Very timely -- I'm just back from buying fleece to make this. 11/19/09 7:37 PM

loti said... I bought this pattern in the last vogue sale. Thank you for reviewing it, I have an irish tweed that I might use for it. Yours looks wonderful, and I don't know what the back of the fleece looks like, but I like the contrast in the pics. 11/19/09 7:55 PM
Ann Smith said... DorothyK, a woven would be no problem although you might want to change the edge treatment to something other than serged all around. Fit should be fine. 11/19/09 8:08 PM
lmg said... I think it looks fabulous...warm and cozy. Just right for Canadian fall. And I like your version better than the envelope pic 11/20/09 0:15 AM
digs57 said... It's beautiful, I'm very glad you showed it to us. I'm really seeing it in a boiled wool as well - as you said, with edge treatment. 11/20/09 6:52 AM
barbcl said... A wow coat in a gorgeous fabric. Love it! 11/20/09 10:45 AM
JDpenelope said... Thanks for reviewing this. It might actually be a pattern I could make. Your sizing tips are helpful. 11/20/09 8:38 PM
ClaireOKC said... I love the fabric you picked - it looks perfect. Actually I made mine up in a heavy-weight wool tweed, and thought it was a little light...I guess we all had a vision about what this coat was supposed to do, and each one was different. I ended up doing a little more finishing work on mine to be exactly what I wanted, adn that took about a week of tweaking it, wearing it, tweaking some more, wearing it again, and on, but I got it just the way I wanted it. 11/23/09 10:09 AM

waltzqueen said... I think the contrast under side looks great and breaks up the large expanse of the "right" side.
Do you think trimming back the collar several inches would make the coat more manageable? 11/23/09 2:40 PM
Trudy J said... Thanks! I was looking at the pattern on the Vogue site. It actually looks great on you, but it sounds like it might be a tad too much coat for my 5'. 12/10/09 7:45 PM
