susanbb said... Oooh! This is that one I was eying! You made it! It's gorgeous. The jacket fabric looks especially sumptuous. Susanbb 1/7/03 11:19 PM

Nan said... Susan, I really liked the drape of the rayon brocade--its less stiff than other brocades I've seen. Thanks Anne and Teri 1/7/03 11:55 PM

Susan Parker said... Gorgeous jacket. Everytime I browse through the Vogue catalog my eyes inevitably land on this very pattern. Fab job. I think it's the collar that makes this jacket standout. It definitely is sexy without being vulgar. Two thumbs up! 1/8/03 0:21 AM
NancyDaQ said... Ooh la la! Tres chic. The jacket kind of reminds me of Princess Di's "Elvis" jacket. 1/8/03 3:38 AM
cindyann said... Fabulous! That jacket is oh so nice! I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only one to sew zippers in the wrong place/ upside down. As I did last night. Rip, rip, rip. Thanks for this review. 1/8/03 10:21 AM
frogs2 said... Your outfit looks so good, I bought the pattern to use for my wedding outfit, in silk dupioni. Wish me luck (and send suggestions!)
Thanks for a really convincing review. 6/6/03 3:27 PM
Melanie-Austria said... Dear Nan,
I have just received this pattern which I ordered some days ago. Of course I would like to see what results you got from the pattern, but unfortunately I cannot access the picture. Could you send it to me or post the correct link?
My e-mail: waste1@aware.at
Thank you so much, can't wait to see the outcome
Regards from Austria

I have gathered the hem and hand stitched it; however, I just might remove the stitching, cut the hem down, and machine stitch the hem. I am almost finished with the jacket. However, it took me longer than usual because I had to alter this dress tremendously (for size---I am making it for someone else). I believe this pattern is not for a beginner sewer; however, with it's small challenges, I would make this pattern again. I used a Poly Shantung and I did not line the jacket! 7/26/07 4:22 PM
vlier said... Nan, you've written a helpful review for an outfit I have been contemplating - and now I can't wait. However, I cannot open the photo, and I am very curious to see your results, which I see everyone else is raving about. Would it be possible to post a photo with a different program or link? Thanks very much in advance. 10/27/09 12:37 PM
