MaryBeth said... This jacket does seem to be excellent "casual" business wear. Great fabric! I made LH's Casual Coat and didn't like the armscye/shoulders at all. I've stayed away ever since. Maybe I should try one of her newer patterns though. Your version looks very nice. 5/19/05 2:51 AM
CarolynGM said... Sounds like a really good pattern to have. That color looks awesome on you. 5/19/05 4:52 AM

Danvillegirl said... I too love this pattern. Your jacket looks great. I have not thought about lining the back so your review has given me a great idea to try this next time I make up this jacket. 5/19/05 5:52 AM
MarilynB said... Love your jacket. I have this pattern in my stash. You have motivated me to take another look at it. 5/19/05 5:59 AM

CSM--Carla said... Karmeng, thanks for taking the time for this thorough review. I am about to undertake the task of making this jacket. I appreciate that you discuss that the jacket after a few wearings shows signs that it needed to be interfaced. Also I will line it as you described--great ideas! Thanks again for this excellent review! Carla 10/12/06 9:25 PM
