I am very late to the Chanel Party.
I originally signed up, submitted inspirational pictures and posted fabrics, and then went into hiding. That was my last Chanel post. I officially and unofficially withdrew. I lurked on the site, posted nothing, found courage and I'm back with a slightly different approach. I am concrete random at best. Always a plan. I just change it as I see fit.......So here is the final approach-I will see it through to completion.
- Chanel jacket will be for D1. She is thrilled. Her requests were: furry trim,tight fitting, pockets,and gold buttons for sleeve vents.
- A merging of 2 patterns. A Vintage 1961 Advance pattern, for the excellent sleeve vents and Chanel like qualities. Vogue 7975 for the basic shell. I will merge sleeves from Advance with Vogue shell .
Are "furry" and "skinny" couture adjectives? If so, I am using them like I know what I am talking about.
The fabric is so much like the inspiration picture. D1 is lucky to have you. She will love the jacket.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that jacket worn by Linda Evangilista in BWOF. I would like to get that sort of fit too.
ReplyDeleteYour vintage pattern looks great

Love to see your inspiration picture and the fabric you have is so similar. Will be a great jacket.
