AuntieShel said... Stunning jacket--how brave to just make up your own underarm gussets. These are one of my most favorite things in the world. 5/15/10 9:51 AM
Annette1 said... Hello, gorgeous! Now that's what I call perseverance, making your own G-U-S-S-E-T-S. Not only do I try to AVOID them altogether, I can't imagine drafting my own. That being said, I LOVE the look and the fit of anything with G-U-S-S-E-T-S. They just make ALL the difference (I say). This raincoat is so chic, and, of course, your addition of those unique buttons over the snaps just make it. :o) 5/15/10 7:44 PM
Frogstitcher said... Great save on this oh, so chic jacket. You took a casual rather plain style and created an interesting, stylish raincoat. As always, another beautiful piece of work, Barbara. 5/22/10 11:53 AM
