Peggy L said... But it is so well constructed:) At least you'll get some wear out of it. The back is really cute. Can you morph that onto a jacket that you know fits? 6/5/10 10:19 PM
Levone said... Nice looking jacket! Love the back details. 6/6/10 2:27 AM
Mary Nanna said... Very cute - I love the fabric - the back thingy is called a "matingale" - I love them too, sorry this didn't work out for you because it looks pretty cute on the dress form. 6/6/10 4:45 AM
KarlaB said... I like this jacket! You did a beautiful job (as usual--I have read your blog and many of your reviews) I've had some RTW that went over sheath dresses, just like this that I really really liked. I see how long ago you posted your review...but I found this pattern on clearance at the McCalls site...so here goes! 5/14/12 12:31 PM
