Wow. Just...wow. It's absolutely stunning. I can't get over the detail. Your thesis didn't NEED a defense with a suit like that, but I'm glad you did so well anyhow! :)

Wonderful SUIT.
5/11/10 4:34 PM
Beautiful! I love your topstitching! I hope your thesis defense went well!
5/11/10 4:38 PM
This is amazing! Beautiful work.
5/11/10 4:51 PM
Ummm. Ok. I'm speeechless. This is just jaw dropping. I told myself this year that there was no point in making a suit because it was never going to look good. Yet, here you are making this really amazing ensemble.
5/11/10 5:21 PM
Wow! I love this pattern pattern since it first came out and have been intimidated by the advance rating. You're so awesome!
5/11/10 6:35 PM
Very smart!
5/11/10 7:12 PM
Beautiful. Congratulations on both the suit and the thesis. Well done.
5/11/10 7:18 PM

Your skill is so apparent in this beautiful jacket, but when I went to your website, I was in awe. No wonder your handwork is so exquisite. I can only guess that your defense went well--as you are so very talented.
5/11/10 8:43 PM
I really don't know what to say. I love everything about your suit. The color. The detailing. You are meticulous and so very talented. Wow!
5/11/10 9:08 PM
That suit is absolutely, positively STUNNING!!!! I have that pattern and has almost decided not to sew it, but you have made me definitely want to.
5/11/10 9:16 PM
Your suit is wonderful, very impressive. Congratulations on the successful defense of your thesis.
5/11/10 9:25 PM
Oh, thank you so much for all the lovely comments, I'm blushing! And for the congrats on my defense - it was a particularly long road to get there and it's still sinking in. I would really encourage anyone who has/likes this pattern to try it out. Just don't do it in a rush, but take your time with the steps. It's not easy, but it is very rewarding. I can also not stress enough the importance of muslining the jacket first to get the fit right before cutting your fabric.
5/11/10 9:33 PM
Your jacket is stunning! The contrast piping and the hand stitching make it marvelous!
5/11/10 9:55 PM

Fabulous creation. And what a great idea about inserting the boning in the seams to keep the jacket from scrunching while one sits down. Thanks for sharing!
7/11/10 9:28 AM
Thank you for sharing your photos. I spent 3 hours yesterday cutting out just the main fabric (not the lining or interfacing), and I felt a little discouraged. But after seeing your suit, I am all over this project. It looks fantastic!
7/19/10 2:05 PM
You have out done your self. Your suit is gorgous and your handy work was amazing.
