Now I'm not absolutely sure anymore - yours looks gorgeous, but as you said, is may not be the kind of garment one gets lots of wear out of... so is it worth all the hard work... hmmm.<BR/>Still, you did a wonderful job with it. No question about that. It is, in itself, absolutely fabulous. <BR/>To make or not to make - that is the question!Kitty Couturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366261017869630923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-82480280982810939742007-10-28T18:50:00.000-07:002007-10-28T18:50:00.000-07:00Nancy - I really like the way the jacket looks on ...Nancy - I really like the way the jacket looks on you. Of course that does not say how it fits or helps with your neckline conundrum. My first thought was a shirtlike or turtleneck dickey...you would get something to fill the neckline without the added bulk.Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-3687747727833800282007-10-28T17:51:00.000-07:002007-10-28T17:51:00.000-07:00This is lovely!

I think it looks good on you, but I can see where the neckline might be a problem. I don't know who the folks BWOF think they are designing for with those necklines!! :) Onward to the next project!Elarayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06487492651398001387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-13949090155020042132007-10-28T08:45:00.000-07:002007-10-28T08:45:00.000-07:00It came out great!!!

I do have a tissue weight turtle and cowl. It looks ridiculous with the cowl. The turtle is black, so I didn't want to wear it for the picture. I'm also planning on making a short sleeve turtle, but it's still too hot here for high necklines. It's cool in the morning, but gets in the low 80s in the afternoons.Nancy Winninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291320098379550586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-21211667314187625992007-10-28T08:17:00.000-07:002007-10-28T08:17:00.000-07:00I think it looks really lovely on you, but I too c...I think it looks really lovely on you, but I too can understand why you have doubts. Like Summerset, I have had trouble with BWOF necklines being too wide and low, but I am narrow through the front upper torso and wider in the back, which always means extra alterations in these areas for BWOF. <BR/><BR/>I did like it with the turtleneck, and wonder if one of those really thin, tissue weight ones would work for you, or perhaps a scoop neck that somewhat echoes the shape of the jacket neckline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-7841385511069752052007-10-28T06:55:00.000-07:002007-10-28T06:55:00.000-07:00You really did a great job on this jacket.

I wanted to make this but I haven't found any fabric I like for it and have too many other projects ahead of it anyway. But you have a very lovely garment!Bonnie O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10337963671634796459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-38022096659232078292007-10-28T03:17:00.000-07:002007-10-28T03:17:00.000-07:00I can understand that you're on the fence about th...I can understand that you're on the fence about this one, but I really like it on you! I've been contemplating this one for myself (like I'll have time to make it, right!). You've done a lovely job with it. <BR/><BR/>Yes, the BWOF low neckline strikes again. I noticed that in the mag, they've styled it with a turtleneck. In my climate, that's appealing, but maybe not in yours. I'm constantly adusting their necklines or wearing layers to make them modest enough for public viewing.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.com
