You really got a wonderful fit on your jacket. The shoulders, bust, really everything looks very nice. 3/1/10 9:04 PM
Renren said... Yeah, I was expecting something really saggy, then I clicked on the link and I thought, darn, everything looks so nice! Love the jacket and your description of the fabric makes me wish I could touch it! Very pretty garment and very wearable. I have to give the P/P patterns a try. 3/1/10 9:47 PM
moushka said... Lovely jacket, including the back inset. It's a nice detail. I'm sure you'll enjoy wearing it. Thanks for the review. 3/1/10 10:44 PM
davin said... On the contrary, I think the back looks interesting and has some shape, rather than a blank-wall, featureless expanse. You probably will get used to it! 3/2/10 1:27 AM
paulakiss said... Great jacket. Looks RTW but fits you like a glove! I actually like the back. I don't think it makes your back look bigger, just the opposite. 3/2/10 1:28 AM

JudyP said... Thanks everyone! I guess we are always harder on ourselves! I definitely will wear this jacket as it does fit well and the fabric is yummy! 3/2/10 6:49 AM
Riesie said... Oh, I love this. The fit is excellent, especially through the upper chest/shoulders (that's always my difficult part). And I'm with everybody else - love the belt detail on the back. 3/2/10 9:21 AM
marycds said... Great jacket. It looks like it fits really well. Clinton and Stacy on "What Not to Wear" would say that the details on the back divide the space and make you look smaller. I need to look at this pattern since I have a lot of space. Great job. 3/2/10 10:47 PM
sewnsewtoo said... Lo;ve the jacket. I agree with the above comments. Your jacket is very flattering. 3/29/10 5:17 PM

juschu said... Judy, I love this jacket. I would wear it all the time, and the detail in the back really appeals to me. I am going pattern shopping!
