CatherineN said... This pattern has intrigued me with it's collar lines. I don't like lapels. This looks very nice and you certainly are an excellent, adventurous sewer. I eyed that carrot silk many times, but never bought it. Nice to have a lining with a sense of humor. 1/2/04 5:48 PM
Lynngray said... Great job, the lining wondeful. Great
Review also.

SewingSusan said... Nice work! The suit looks amazing on you and I love the lining, of course. I'm afraid to do anything with a fly...you state the pants were easy and sewed up relatively quickly. Good instructions for the fly? 1/3/04 8:11 AM
Rebecca D said... I am always amazed and impressed with the different projects you try and how many projects you've turned out since I've been on PatternReview.
I love the lining and think the whole outfit looks completely sleek on you. 1/3/04 8:20 AM

Joyfullife said... Oh my, Nikki! You are a sewing goddess! Your technique is wonderful and the fit is fantastic! 1/3/04 5:08 PM
Nikki said... Thanks everybody! SewingSusan, I'd say the instructions were maybe fair, I've made enough flys before that I wasn't confused. 1/3/04 5:27 PM
Jaymie said... Sleeve is cut too tight; the armhole is too high, much higher than on other patterns. I have to recut & reattach the sleeves. Not happy. 10/16/04 1:55 PM
Soph said... Nikki, Fantastic work!!! Please, advise if the front facing is easy to place on the jacket and the top....it has concealed button holes? This is frightening me a little as I'm not a really experienced sewer...

Vivienne said... Wow - this style really suits you! I immediately wanted one for myself, but the Vogue site implies one needs a waist (no rectangle in the guide). I really like your sliced carrot lining on the orig too. 3/3/05 10:20 AM
nheh said... Great suit. Good luck with the interviews! 3/3/05 10:22 AM
PVA said... Wow, you've really hit a home-run with this one! It is absolutely beautiful -- and, a great review! I thank you, especially for all the photos -- a great look at all the pieces of this wardrobe. I've got to believe the interview will go well, your confidence level will be right up there! 8^D 3/3/05 10:35 AM

Nickle said... Wow great job. I enjoyed your review and pics. The suit looks wonderful on you. 3/3/05 11:32 AM
MaryBeth said... I really appreciate your work and your reviews, Nikki. I'm not a long tall drink of water like you so I don't choose the same patterns but I learn so much about the fabrics and the process from what you write and photograph. You always use quality fabrics :) :) :) The jacket fits quite perfectly in this incarnation and I wonder if a silk jersey tee under the vest/top would bring it into the realm of more useable? Just a thought. The Vogue pants also fit marvelously as well. 3/3/05 12:02 PM

eileen said... I have this pattern - I think you did a georgous job - it looks beautiful. The detail you included on the interfacing, button selection, etc... was very helpful. I believe I will revisit this pattern again. The pic inspired me. It really is perfect office attire. 1/19/06 1:11 PM
