Maisie
As you might guess, she is fairly conservative, but I loved what she did here.
She did the traditional trim and some fabulous buttons to create a jacket that
will not only work well for her, but will become an heirloom in her family.

Lining
My most favorite part, besides the fit on Maisie's jacket was the lining.
It really looked like her.

|
Scarf & Jacket
And she even made a very lovely scarf to go with her jacket. The total
look worked and is just a classic.
|
Gwen
The colors of this jacket matched Gwen perfectly, and she used a lining that was
wonderful and yet a color she might not normally wear.

Betty
Although Betty doesn't have her trim on yet, you can see how beautiful this
jacket is already...she found only two Chanel vintage buttons, but used them to
the max. She will use another Chinese Knot type button for her cuff and
pockets.

Chiffon Lining
One of the things we noticed when we were scooping out the RTW jackets was that
many of them were lined in chiffon. When Betty picked out her jacket
fabric, this chiffon was just perfect. Since Betty is a little
warm-natured, this will make the jacket just that much more breathable for her.

Suzanne
For a trim, she picked this wonderful "Frenchie" looking frond-type trim that
was excellent. With her fabulous buttons, the look is total. This
trim is so strong that she will use this around the neckline and down the middle
and cuff, however won't use it around the hip.

Irene
With this fabulous color, Irene picked something that looks beautiful on her and
has battled through some real fabric challenges, including having the fabric
literally bleed out all the color. After she is finished, we will do some
work on making that coloring fast, probably with a little dry cleaning.

Barbara
This trim most suits Barbara, and she had done a superb job of executing her
idea. The ruffle was on the bias over a braided trim with a looped edging
on one side. This trim was so strong that she is only using it around her
face on the collar and lapel area, on her pockets and cuffs and that's all so
that it won't over-power her. After all we want the jacket to show off
Barbara not the other way around.
