Je l'aime toute seule avec, comme je le disais, une très belle ceinture.<br /><br />Si tu regardes la photo à la page 10, ils ont mis le manteau à col chemisier par dessus en cachant le col de la robe... que devons-nous en conclure ??<br /><br />Selon moi, les robes chemisiers ne vont pas avec une veste Chanel...

I would make the one underneath a tiny bit bigger and play with layers effect. <br /><br />For the dress, I like that pattern very much. The narrow belt takes character away from it. The model has a very wide obi that can be so not comfortable (I know from wearing obis often). I suggest you to get a obi to add punch to your outfit and to add an "effet surprise" when you take off your jacket. <br />see what this lady makes :http://www.etsy.com/people/elizabethkelly?ref=ls_profile <br /> Her service is so friendly and excellent.<br /><br />C'est tout !Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734897164752339855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-85853571917443464562011-01-13T18:16:08.474-05:002011-01-13T18:16:08.474-05:00I like #1 or the channel suggestion.

It is double breasted but the buttons are up high, versus at the waist. What kind of jackets are you seeing others wear with this style dress? When I can't decide sometimes a little lunchtime "market research" at the mall helps me out.sewistafashionistahttp://sewstorebought.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-79671138331470365982011-01-12T08:43:11.210-05:002011-01-12T08:43:11.210-05:00Debbie Cook and I are of the same opinion here Kay...Debbie Cook and I are of the same opinion here Kay.

However, I bought a Simplicity pattern for what I thought was a cute jacket, but because they designed it for shearling type fabric, they didn't include facings and the collar was an unfinished edge with the wrong side showing. Just a thought that Burda might have done the same.Liarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521992049156412091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-44639042594263318492011-01-12T06:00:59.199-05:002011-01-12T06:00:59.199-05:00I'm with Debbie Cook - V neck collarless and f...I'm with Debbie Cook - V neck collarless and fitted.
