I think some slim shoulder pads could work and I'll give those a try but overall I am pretty happy with the look, albeit rather different for me. <br />Yeah, it could have been real easy to overdue the foiling but I held myself back. I'l not a fan of being overly blinged out. Now think of this top with no foiling. Are we talking pregnant prison matron or what? This grey really needed some help.

I agree with the others about the perfect amount of foiling, I mean you could have gone nuts! Of course the inside is just as nice as the outside and almost could be worn inside out with the HK finishes, and such a nice bright color! This pattern has really been worth the effort and my only thought, if it were mine, would be to add small shoulder pads for my narrow shoulders on those slightly extended shoulder seams. Great job, Bunny!!! mrsmolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329515914613595719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-16629583055397011412015-10-06T21:07:38.842-04:002015-10-06T21:07:38.842-04:00Somehow I doubt that, Anne.

I love the creative touches the foil adds to this jacket. I know what you mean about the oversized design but you pull it off, especially with slim pants to balance the jacket's volume. I prefer a slimmer fit so I don't use Marcy Tilton designs but the pocket details on this are intriguing.

The front really puffed out if I let it go the way it was sewn, then pressed. I had to put steam to the lower bodice/pocket area to softly press it down. That helped bring it in line.

I feel so stylish in the outfit even though I'm at the other end of the sizing spectrum from you. I had a little trouble getting the side seams above and below the pocket extensions to meet even though, like you, I marked all notches, squares, and circles. Thanks for the ideas on inside finishing - I serged as many seams as I could and made notes on the pattern when to do the serging in case I ever make this again. It IS distinctive! On another note, I just found your blog a couple of weeks ago and have thoroughly enjoyed your tips and tutorials. I'm 70 and have been sewing a long time, but one can always learn something new. I didn't even know fusible batting tape existed and now it's a favorite. (I'm sure it's cheaper to cut strips of interfacing but I'm all for convenience.) I also loved your instructions for getting patterns back into the envelope neatly. It really works! Thank you!
