Sew4Fun said... I was thinking this pattern would be boxy but on you it looks very shapely. Thanks for taking the time to include a photo on you. It's helpful, as was your review. 1/22/10 8:29 PM
Fashions said... Absolutely LOVE it! Love the collar and I actually like the sleeve length too. I had my eye on that pattern for a while now. If I decide to make it I probably won't lengthen the sleeves. 1/22/10 9:51 PM
Patti B said... Oh, I like it! And of course you need another jacket in this style. It looks as if it will be great with pants or a pencil skirt (your favorite -- not). 1/22/10 10:07 PM
moushka said... Great looking jacket, very flattering. Thanks for a thoughtful review. 1/22/10 10:29 PM
Fictionfan said... Excellent review, thanks! Looks great on you, better than I thought the pattern could look. Great collar for you, flattering jacket. Very Nice! 1/22/10 10:38 PM
Michele Lommasson said... Thanks for the review. You have certainly paved the way for the rest of us to make successful jackets. 1/22/10 10:40 PM
Michelle99 said... Great jacket. I didn't look twice at this pattern, but now I might. Is the zipper uncomfortable around your chin when it's zipped up? Or would you just not wear it zipped all the way? 1/23/10 4:08 AM
Rebecca D said... Your jacket is fantastic, thanks for such a helpful review, especially as regards sizing which is often a challenge with Marcy Tilton patterns. You should totally make this jacket again with the graffiti pattern and orange zipper. As for styling, I think it looks great with your jeans and I wonder if you could wear it over a simple shift/sheath dress. 1/23/10 8:11 AM
lmg said... Oh thanks for the review. I have this cut out and with your info I think I will cut it down a size. Lovely jacket. 1/23/10 12:42 PM
sew2little said... Thanks, everyone! Michelle99--the zipper stands away from the body when it's all zipped up like a giant turtleneck, so the zipper isn't a problem, but it's probably not a look I'd wear. When I zip it up a bit more, it looks fine. 1/23/10 2:28 PM
lamstu said... Very cute and wearable muslin! I am still on the fence about this jacket. Thanks in particular for mentioning your experience of trying to pair it with a skirt. 1/23/10 10:40 PM
Jane S said... WOw, I love how this turned out. You look so chic in this jacket. I've been wondering about getting this pattern but it's so wearable but cool, too. bravo! 1/24/10 1:52 AM
Kay Y said... Your jacket looks fabulous on you - casual but surprisingly shapely, and lovely neckline. I hadn't considered this pattern at all but now ... hmmm. 1/24/10 2:33 PM
crazygrad said... That jacket rocks the casbah! I really love the Clash! 1/30/10 7:20 PM
Barbara V said... Marci, Both of your jackets are fabulous. One being denim and the other an artsy print lends to a feel of completely different jacket styles. Your fine tuning the fit and proportions make them look just right for you. Nice work and very helpful review! 1/30/10 7:41 PM
kkkkaty said... oh, gosh, I love it.... 1/30/10 8:09 PM

MNBarb said... I'm stalking your pattern reviews to get ideas. This jacket is so originally wonderful. I love how the right fabric can make a pattern go from so-so to terrific. You have a good eye for what will bring a garment to the "next level". 2/17/12 7:34 PM
