It really hasn't been sitting there ignored. I know it's hard to catch questions posted on old blog entries; I just wasn't sure how else to get it asked. Thanks for answering the question for me...now I just need to decide what *I* want ;)Lisa Lareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516986664460840579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-1161445816983880022006-10-21T10:50:00.000-05:002006-10-21T10:50:00.000-05:00Lisa, I agree with Liana - it's a great jacket tha...Lisa, I agree with Liana - it's a great jacket that looks fabulous on you even as a muslin.<BR/><BR/>And I just realized you posted a question on my blog about the HP trouser skirt a d I never answered you! I so sorry about that. You're observation about the panels is correct and you traced off correctly too. I think the envelope sketch shows the panel proportions as they would look for the smallest 2 sizes. Also, I've noticed the width of those panels doesn't change as the sizes go up.<BR/><BR/>The skirt I had in the 80's was slightly different in a few details - it had a fly front, a back slit instead of a pleat, and was the same length, but it didn't have the panels.<BR/><BR/>I find the HP skirt to be more flattering actually, and I wear it almost every week, I love it so much! It looks great with boots.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04668161467072636784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-1161311063444544622006-10-19T21:24:00.000-05:002006-10-19T21:24:00.000-05:00Lisa, try making a horizontal tuck 1/2" deep all t...Lisa, try making a horizontal tuck 1/2" deep all the way around the jacket at halfway between the waist and the full bust level. I think you'll see most of that diagonal wrinkle disappear.<BR/>ShannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-1161309565596590342006-10-19T20:59:00.000-05:002006-10-19T20:59:00.000-05:00It's looking really good!

Those shoulder pads with the sleeve head extension are like magic, aren't they? Can't wait for your linen test jacket!Lianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235950571276425579noreply@blogger.com
