The "corset hook" instructions were confusing and I ended up using an alternate method. I love your fabric and it looks great. It is sad that it does not fit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-60111605341562054982015-09-15T17:31:26.719-05:002015-09-15T17:31:26.719-05:00I'm new to your blog and found you through a g...I'm new to your blog and found you through a google search to see if anyone else had tried this pattern first. So sorry it turned out baggy, and at 5'4" I can empathize!! When this happens to me, I'm lucky to have a mother who's almost 3" taller and a cup size larger in the bust - so I can usually hand it up to her! Maybe you need to find a buddy who's a smidge bigger you can barter with! :-) Looking forward to looking around the rest of your blog, and loving your projects so far. You've got very smart style.ky_hikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08794891631692451637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-35871265248150530082015-08-13T06:13:12.291-05:002015-08-13T06:13:12.291-05:00Tragic- it's is beautiful and I wish it wasn&#...Tragic- it's is beautiful and I wish it wasn't wearing you- you did a wonderful job!prttynpnkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513331416653286924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-27743998685820063112015-08-12T18:10:36.247-05:002015-08-12T18:10:36.247-05:00Gorgeous jacket.

But I know the pain of making up a garment, trying it on and realizing that, even though it looks like it's supposed to, it just doesn't look good on me. Maybe it will grow on you?

All that work and all that time and money tells us a muslin is our best friend...I love your fabric and it is so sad that it did not shine in the pattern. What does "over-sized" or "loose fitting" really mean? Were there any final measurements given on the envelope? Even those sometimes mislead us into thinking it will all work. Drawstrings...and their cousins elastic in tunnels give us false hope that a baggy pattern will mode to us and be fabulous. I'm sure despite not feeling the best in this jacket you will get compliments especially with all the unique features and it's sunny colors. Thanks for sharing all these unique features and giving the rest of us a heads up for this pattern.mrsmolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329515914613595719noreply@blogger.com
