Beautiful fabric! I love it. Great job.

I think your jacket looks good. And not only did you get a nice jacket, you challenged yourself to try princess seams, raglan sleeves, piping, lining, and working with a slippery fabric. What a great accomplishment for someone who has been sewing for only a few months. Thanks for the thorough review.

Sounds like you learned lots of lessons. Way to go. You hung in there and finished!! That's good!

Your jacket looks nice. Don't be so hard on yourself.

I think your jacket looks really nice! That fabric you used is great. One thing I have to ask though--are you sure a 16 was the right size? I'm thinking maybe going down to a 14 or 12 might be more flattering for you. It's hard to see your figure underneath, but I'm thinking your neck/shoulders/upper chest is smaller than the pattern size 16.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I chose a size 16 based on the pivot and slide method. For the couple of other things I've done, it's been perfect in the upper body. This pattern just seemed to run large for me. And it didn't help that I made the sleeves even bigger (that's a standard adjustment for me).

I think you're being hard on yourself. The jacket looks nice. I speaking for myself, I've made every mistake there is to be made.

Congrats on your jacket! You know, I've made this jacket up, too, and it was too big for me as well. Good for you for taking the plunge and doing some thing you hadn't done before!

Given your experience you've done a great job so you should be proud of yourself. I think the lining fabric has conributed to the drape and feel, but this is a learning curve and you know to pick something more lightweight next time, IMO the lining should always be lighter weight than the main fabric, unless its reversible in which case they should be the same weight.
