I always thought that was done so that the shoulder area had the support of the lining. I've also seen this in men's cotton blazers. Your mum will know for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-a-fashion-crime#post-909724 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 01:20:58 +0000 Thistle 909724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Day Vies. The others make really good points, but if you won't wear it as it is, remake it so you will wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-a-fashion-crime#post-909694 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 01:08:57 +0000 DonnaF 909694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Are both body and sleeves lined?&nbsp; I have a DKNY knit blazer and only the sleeves are lined.&nbsp; I suppose it helps the slip factor when wearing long sleeves underneath as well as keeping the elbows from bagging out.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-a-fashion-crime#post-909690 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 01:06:46 +0000 Day Vies 909690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Make it work for you -- you own it and should be able to do with it as your please. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-a-fashion-crime#post-909688 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 01:03:39 +0000 Sveta 909688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Whew, I am so happy nobody sent for a fashion police! <br />Dianthus and Vildy- - it is true that unlined it can hang differently. Hmm...<br />Caro, you are right, the seams may be unfinished.<br />Diana, it is a good point on the potential scratchiness.<br />Suz, you bet I will not do anything without talking to my Wonder Mom first!<br />Ornella, thanks for the link, this is very interesting, I will definitely share with my mom! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-a-fashion-crime#post-909626 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 00:20:53 +0000 Diana 909626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ In principle this should work, and I do have unlined blazers that are great.&nbsp; However, I'd be careful to check that the underside of the shell is not scratchy or snaggy; you wouldn't want it to catch on your blouse or be itchy.&nbsp; Also, as the others have mentioned, you may need to finish the seams so they're not shreddy or anything.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-a-fashion-crime#post-909624 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 00:19:19 +0000 Ornella 909624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's bigger (YLF) crime to have it lingering in the closet and not being worn :-)<br /><br />You can&nbsp;show this to your mum, I think&nbsp;it might be of help (check the Uniqlo one):<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://crafting-a-rainbow.tumblr.com/post/45504802233/inner-workings">http://crafting-a-rainbow.tumb.....r-workings</a><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-a-fashion-crime#post-909618 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 00:14:38 +0000 Suz 909618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your mother will be able to tell you -- and she would probably be able to bind the seams inside if necessary, too!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-a-fashion-crime#post-909540 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 22:33:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 909540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The seams may not be "finished" in the way an unlined jacket seams would be - maybe undo&nbsp;a small section of the seam to check first. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-a-fashion-crime#post-909539 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 22:31:04 +0000 Vildy 909539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I look for unlined blazers for summer.&nbsp; It will probably behave a little differently but should still be another kind of good. :D<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-a-fashion-crime#post-909531 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 22:10:24 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 909531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I see no problem as long as removing the lining doesn't negatively impact the drape of the fabric.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-a-fashion-crime#post-909529 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 22:05:49 +0000 Sveta 909529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have bought <a href="http://www.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?cid=51452&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=351479023" rel="nofollow">Gap pique academy blazer in yellow</a>&nbsp;recently nad now I am faced with the dilemma.<br />Based on the color (bright citron) and weight (cotton) this blazer is ideal for summer wearing when I need a topper. However there is a problem - the lining. It is polyester and pretty hot: I feel hot in it&nbsp;even now and cannot imagine wearing it in the summer.<br />So here is my question: is it a fashion crime to remove the lining from this&nbsp;blazer and make it into&nbsp;unlined blazer? I know there is also an option to replace the poly lining with something more breathable but it is a lot of work and expense and also I am sure a blazer without any lining would feel less hot in summer.<br />What do you think?
