I was about to order the green, but now I need to think some more. I wish I could see the fabrics in person--that would make it easier. </p> <p>I love the houndstooth, too, although it's not my best colors and I already have a houndstooth coat anyway. Modgrl, you would look fab in that pattern and color! Now, if I could find a big houndstooth in some other fun colors than black/white, I'd definitely do that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-some-fabric-for-a-coat-im-making#post-696332 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 14:58:03 +0000 Queen Mum 696332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the green for versatility, but perhaps you don't need versatility?<br /> I LOVE the idea of houndstooth too. Yum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-some-fabric-for-a-coat-im-making#post-696326 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 14:53:07 +0000 Angie 696326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the paisley. But then I bat for Team Dressy and have the magpie gene. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-some-fabric-for-a-coat-im-making#post-696294 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 14:29:34 +0000 modgrl 696294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG I love the graphic B&amp;W pattern! I would buy that in a second!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-some-fabric-for-a-coat-im-making#post-696176 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 08:49:10 +0000 RoseandJoan 696176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a wonderful pattern Jem.</p> <p>IMO the paisley reads as more suitable for evening. The green looks more versatile.</p> <p>another vote for green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-some-fabric-for-a-coat-im-making#post-696173 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 08:42:09 +0000 Ornella 696173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Green camp :-)</p> <p>In case you're still on the fence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-some-fabric-for-a-coat-im-making#post-696123 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 04:50:10 +0000 Jem 696123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, it looks like green is in the lead. I'm think I'm leaning that way, too.</p> <p>The pattern is an Issey Miyake pattern (one of Vogues new fall releases) and his patterns usually have some interesting details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-some-fabric-for-a-coat-im-making#post-696089 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 03:51:36 +0000 rae 696089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote green. I think the paisley will be harder to match and harder to feel current in the long term. Both lovely colors, though, and the coat looks so cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-some-fabric-for-a-coat-im-making#post-696084 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 03:46:31 +0000 Ginkgo 696084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the green coloring on you, but love the subtle paisley pattern in the burgundy. The coat is fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-some-fabric-for-a-coat-im-making#post-696057 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 02:28:36 +0000 Krista 696057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the green. And the coat is a gorgeous style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-some-fabric-for-a-coat-im-making#post-695982 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 00:47:19 +0000 Anonymous 695982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think either would look great with your colouring, but I like the paisley print a titch more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-pick-some-fabric-for-a-coat-im-making#post-695974 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 00:35:10 +0000 Jem 695974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to make this pattern: <a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v1320-products-27093.php#.UBCFJQMh-ZU.pinterest" rel="nofollow">http://voguepatterns.mccall.co......pinterest</a> and I thought I'd see which fabric you all prefer. I found two that I like.</p> <p>1. <a href="http://cdn.moodfabrics.com/productimages/prodimg/large/FW23193.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://cdn.moodfabrics.com/pro.....W23193.jpg</a> I like that this is a dark red which is popular this season. I like the texture of the paisley.</p> <p>2. <a href="http://cdn.moodfabrics.com/productimages/prodimg/large/FW12057.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://cdn.moodfabrics.com/pro.....W12057.jpg</a> This is a boucle, which is hard to tell from the picture. It kindof reminds me of some of the new Tory Burch coats. <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/96616354476922655/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/96616354476922655/</a> and <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/15833036160837657/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/15833036160837657/</a>. Also, there was some green Marc Jacobs coating that is similar that I"m kicking myself for not buying last year, so that's maybe why I'm drawn to this one. </p> <p>Anyway, I'm curious about your opinions. Burgundy, green or find something else! </p>
