OP Gal said... You've done it again, drsue. Great review and great looking jacket. I think the ribbon looks fine. 6/3/06 1:49 PM
CarolynGM said... Exceptionally cute jacket in a luscious color. Good decision to interface and line. Shaped jackets without the underpinnings hardly every work out for me. 6/3/06 2:39 PM

KarmenG said... Nice job - your jacket looks great. I also like fusing the weft on jacket pieces. I'm glad you were able to find the ribbon that worked! 6/3/06 7:39 PM

rosephreak said... Thank you for reviewing this pattern. My mom wants me to make it for her, and I made the skirt for myself already. It looks lovely how you have done it. Aqua is quite popular this season, I think. Nice job. 6/3/06 8:26 PM
Enid E said... Wow! I am sure this looks wonderful on you! Love your color choice and your ribbon looks like it matches to me! Great job.. 6/3/06 9:32 PM
hongkongshopper said... Great Jacket - but never a wadder. You could just have added a clasp or self fabric tie. Love the idea of the belt coming out of the seams. 6/3/06 9:38 PM
layla said... Beautiful ...nice clean (and look like slimming) lines on this .. I love your ribbon effect and what a great look with the shell and pants. 6/3/06 10:12 PM
BjP said... Beautiful jacket! You just ran into what I call the BevPrinciple...if I want or need it, nobody has it! Glad you were finally able to come up with a good match..your ensemble looks fabulous. 6/3/06 11:08 PM
Mary Stiefer said... A beautiful jacket and I think the ribbon is a perfect color for it. Another lovely creation. 6/3/06 11:38 PM

redsquid said... drsue - I'm making the burda jean jacket again (we've both posted reviews - I did the "mature version".) I ordered my teal 16" separating zipper online (in two colors!) just before I read your review. I normally don't do this, but I knew this notion would be a bear to find locally. So I know how you feel about your ribbon, it seems such a common-place item one should be able to pick it up within driving distance. Your jacket looks great - the ribbon really sets it off, as you said "at a distance" (or in a photo) it's a great accent - the color looks perfect. Linda (redsquid) 6/4/06 11:25 AM
PhyllisC said... Susan, boy can I relate to the angst of seeking the perfect color trim! Ay Yi Yi. Another good source for future reference is Tinsel Trading in NYC - they have a sister store across the street devoted just to ribbon, and they have petersham in every color (www.tinseltrading.com) They may not list it on their web site but give them a call. 6/4/06 11:54 AM
ldpaulson said... It's always wonderful to see what you've been working on and this jacket is no exception. Beautiful job! The twill certainly doesn't *look* cheap and the work-around to give the fabric more body is a good tip to keep in mind for future possible challenges as I assume it could be used on many other types of woven fashion fabrics. Thanks. 6/4/06 4:02 PM
