mhk3boys said... I like your color and the buttons! The fit is pretty good also! 1/17/11 4:48 PM
Knitz said... Sorry it didn't work the way you would have liked, but I think this would be a really attractive style for you done as a blouse. 1/17/11 5:30 PM
sew2little said... Perhaps if you don't compare it to your inspiration you'll like this jacket. It looks great on you! 1/17/11 5:44 PM
Mushywear said... This jacket looks nicely balanced, well sewn, and beautifully fit. See if it will grow on you. It's a unique alternative to a run of the mill jacket. I really like the colorful lining too. 1/17/11 6:44 PM
SewWil said... I think it looks good. "Walk away" from it for a bit and see if you like it better when you come back to it. I suggest you wear it out. I bet you will get some compliments on it. That may change your mind... 1/17/11 7:46 PM
Gelbean said... I think it looks perfect. I'm sorry you don't like it. Maybe it's just not how you imagined it but it could grow on you. 1/17/11 8:01 PM
RadarRadiance said... I think it has a lot of possibilities, it does look good and fits very nice. I like the first idea of a silk blouse under it and the lining won't stick. You could also play around with the ties. Can they be used in the back or a buckle added. It looks nice as is, also looks like you have lots of options yet. 1/17/11 9:41 PM
21wale said... Before I read your review, I thought the picture was sooooo cute. It's a great style and really suits you. If the fit of the fabric doesn't grow on you, you should try it as a blouse. And I'm glad you mentioned the trouble with the lining. I probably would have lined it in whatever seemed good at the time without realizing the reason behind slippery linings. 1/17/11 10:28 PM
Annette1 said... I've reviewed a few flops in my day, but I'm having trouble seeing THIS as a flop! It really does look NICE on you. I hope you'll wear it, and it escapes being a wadder! 1/17/11 11:28 PM
FreyaStark said... Your concept is a good one. I think it's better than a wadder. 1/18/11 4:04 AM
Margaret said... I think it looks really good on you. I wonder if you could use a slide buckle on the ties so they would seem less poky-outy. 1/18/11 4:16 AM
Barbara V said... Very nice looking even though you are not quite happy with it. I think it looks nice as completed. If you are not satisfied with the tie detail, perhaps it could be replaced with a belt. I think just wear and enjoy :-) 1/18/11 12:02 PM
GodsgirlT said... Hmmm....I like it! It's unique, a great color that will go with anything and you seem to be of a size that you can get away with "pokey-outey" every once in a while - lol! I hope it does grow on you cuz it looks good on you! 1/18/11 4:03 PM
janet said... You did a BEAUTIFUL job on your jacket. You look LOVELY in it. The lining looks adds to the Quality look of the jacket--I just would have used a "silkier" lining so that it is easier to take off and on. I hope you fall in love with your jacket soon. 1/18/11 8:43 PM
Scheryka said... Neat blouse, very cute. I like that style a lot. I need a black blouse in my wardrobe, hmmm. 1/18/11 11:25 PM
mssewcrazy said... That looks nice -maybe make a silky something to wear underneath. My favorite tank top is a silky knit poly animal print made of pure junk that I wear under a hoodie set zipped up. It doesn't wrinkle and the velour slides over it and provides a tiny accent of color at the neck-maybe some fabric silky like that would work under your nice jacket which is really attractive. 1/19/11 8:49 AM
lamstu said... I also think it looks quite nice and not a wadder. Maybe you could just cut the ties off? and shape through the side seams and darts? Also, the buttons are high enough that you could just wear it as a blouse, nothing underneath? Good luck! 1/19/11 7:45 PM
JETrinity said... This to me is not a flop. Maybe wear it unbuttoned once in a while and it will grow on you. I hope because you need to see some of my flops and will quickly know it is a flop. 2/3/11 1:24 PM
