Skymom said... This is the jacket that was used in Threads a fews months back to make three different types of tops. I'd love to see a picture of yours--sounds great. I keep trying to buy this pattern but it's never available in my size at my local stores. Grr! 9/14/04 12:59 PM
Jennifer shaw said... Thank you so much for reviewing this pattern. After seeing it in Threads as the designer challenge, I bought it. Any chance that you could share a photo? Would love to see it! Skymom, what size do you need? 9/14/04 11:41 PM
Debra H said... Hey, I just now got a digital camera....so hope to get my photos up by October. I am a size 10/12 in ready to wear so used a 14/16 combo for the pattern. 9/16/04 1:23 PM

AnneM said... Lovely; I really like it. I wonder how this compares to that new McCall pattern (jacket only). Congrats on the digital camera, also. 9/18/04 10:37 AM
Debra H said... I think that the cut on this is more shaped than the McCall's....the way the bottom flares out on the Vogue pattern is different. The sleeves also are very different....this Laroche pattern has a very unusual sleeve design...the undersleeve runs through the underarm and down the side of the jacket. This provides further shapeliness. The McCall's does not have much shape at the sides and sleeves are traditional. I thought that the photo was not very flattering...she kind of looked like a stuffed sausage...maybe too tight or something. 9/18/04 12:43 PM
moushka said... Fabulous jacket! Thanks for the review. I'm losing weight and thinking of trying a shorter jacket. This one is so sharp looking. 12/18/04 7:08 PM
