The pattern does run a little large thus I made jacket in smaller size. If you decide to give it another try, use a smaller size. 12/31/04 6:33 AM

Here is a thought, could you wear the top open (like a jacket) with one of those stretch camisoles you can get for a dime a dozen at Old Navy or Kohl's? 12/31/04 7:36 AM

The directions are great and all steps clearly explained. I think this line would be very flattering for a full-bodied rectangle shape, i.e. broad shoulders, full bust and similiar waist/hip measurements. 3/8/08 10:37 PM

Renren said... Hmm, interesting review. I'm getting ready to sew this pattern and trying to get as much info as possible before I begin. I'm not an X but rather a rectangle. No broad shoulders though. Hmm, guess I better turn out a quicky muslin on this first. Thanks for the VH review. 4/24/13 3:08 PM
