I do have a good tailor. Plus I'd rather try that and leave the option to chop if needed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-taylor-and-others-altering-the-psychedelic-jacket#post-279242 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:49:47 +0000 Angie 279242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Overlapping, Una. 100%. I don't think you need to cut anything - but you *do* need a good tailor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-taylor-and-others-altering-the-psychedelic-jacket#post-279234 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:39:11 +0000 catgirl 279234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, do you think it needs cutting or just a way to secure the front - overlapped, or edges meeting? I'm only going to get one try, so I don't want to mess up! Thanks for all the input. And yes, I'm sure the tailor will steam it for me!</p> <p>Kate, I know what you mean about hook and eye - it doesn't go with this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-taylor-and-others-altering-the-psychedelic-jacket#post-279229 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:36:51 +0000 Kate 279229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo, I like #2! Cutting and narrowing the front might work too... or he might have to take some in from the side seams. I don't like the idea of hook and eye as much, but I can't put my finger on why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-taylor-and-others-altering-the-psychedelic-jacket#post-279228 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:36:34 +0000 Angie 279228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay!</p> <p>It fits in the shoulders. The belt loops look a little low, so I'd raise those. You need some sort of fixed closure - like velcro or studs. And that jacket needs a very good steam! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-taylor-and-others-altering-the-psychedelic-jacket#post-279219 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:31:38 +0000 catgirl 279219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So here are a few more photos. I am trying to figure out what would work best when I go to the tailor. Should I have him put in a button to make it kind of double-breasted? Or actually cut and narrow the front? Hook and eye? The first picture is with the jacket just open. Any help appreciated!</p> <p>I have the sleeves rolled back here so ignore that part. </p>
