Thanks ladies. I love the navy one too. The entire process of making the dress was to make that navy one :D
I'm glad the nth turned out so well!

These look great! Love the belt buckles! Can you still get those kits to for fabric covered belt buckles?

not as much made as modified: an original U.S. Navy Men's enlisted dress blues jumper - not vintage - modified into an open jacket - with original large U.S. Navy pea coat buttons and vintage liberty cuffs added.

Inky, I hope you don't think I'm being a total copycat, but I really need one of those. I even found one on eBay in a larger size that should fit.

Oh my gosh! Inky! As a fiend for all things uniform/military styled, I am going to steal that when you aren't looking! Thanks for the link, that has now jumped every other project in my queue.

It looks so rockin on you! Love the striped shirt under it too.

Oh Inky, I'm going to have to hop and the bandwagon and take a stab at making one for myself. Your jacket is way too awesome! I love the added vintage liberty cuffs.

Kamikat that top looks stunning on you. Hands down has to be my favorite of all the gorgeous things you make.

Love your dog running through the background, just adorable. I am a sucker for dogs especially large fluffy ones!

Kami that is so cute. Ive been looking for a drape/cowl neck like that for a long time (still looking).

Thanks to Idledame for the fabric. The thing is, the fabric has a blemish on the bias cut pieces. See the on the right the small yellow yellow /white/small yellow yellow /white? See how they double half way up then the pattern resets itself? Yeah, that was the *first* piece I cut, and I didnt notice that blemish until I tried to match up the plaid for the other side. :eusa_doh: Thats was only place in the entire remnant that had that oops. Crappers.

Its been hemmed about 2" I talk about the construction on ye olde blog.

Aw well.

Lady Day, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out, and even then it took me a few seconds of starring at the photo to see it. No one is going to look that close when you have it on! It looks great. :eusa_clap

I think it gives it character!! And it really took me a while to notice it, so unless you tell someone I doubt anyone sees it...

I think anytime a garment plays with bias stripes or plaids it's fantastic! I agree with the other ladies, I didn't see the flub until after I read about it.
