I don't really think about the skills that much. And I admire what quilters do, because it seems to take a whole different set of skills to come up with a pleasing pattern of fabrics on a quilt.<br /><b>Rachylou</b>, I do too, but then I'm always wanting a shorter jacket to go with some things, especially dresses. So we'll see how this one works. out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1349273 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 16:22:22 +0000 rachylou 1349273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This cropped jacket is great with this dress! Things seem to hang right, good visual proportions.</p> <p>I have trouble with cropped jackets. They sort of seem to interfere with the way a lot of my clothes hang, and somehow I don't have the right length stuff to go under... always a bit too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1349164 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 14:35:47 +0000 Elly 1349164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure this is just part of the talent set that makes you so good at what you do, but I have to call you out on your exquist fabric and color choice and ability to layer items to create a bigger harmonizing picture. I'm a painter and photographer, but sometimes wish I was a knitter or a quilter for the advanced pattern and color mixing skills. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1349052 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 11:08:43 +0000 Missey 1349052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking at your post for the third time because I love it so mcuh I wanted to know who made it...how did I miss that you did?!&nbsp; Really wonderful dress, excellent work and design.&nbsp; If I may ask, what pattern did you use?</p> <p>Love the whole outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1349047 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 10:53:36 +0000 Melaine 1349047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it so much!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348926 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 02:40:39 +0000 Beth Ann 1348926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cheeky short jacket, and I think it gives a modern structure to an otherwise arty look.&nbsp; Well chosen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348913 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 02:18:13 +0000 Jaime 1348913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the drapey with the structured jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348710 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 20:05:36 +0000 Ingunn 1348710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! It's so very you, sophisticated arty. The proportions are very pleasing to my eye. Love the dress and topper&nbsp;both as an ensemble and on their own. Im sure you can wear this jacket over a number of longer tunics and dresses with great success.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348704 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 19:59:02 +0000 Anonymous 1348704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love this look FC! The dress you made is just lovely and I adore the cheeky cropped length of the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348682 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 18:55:55 +0000 Parsley 1348682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an arty cool outfit! Your dress is amazing and works perfectly with the cropped moto. The shoes are OK with it, but the VInce d'Orsay pumps would bring a whole new level of sophistication to the outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348679 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 18:51:21 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1348679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Alaskagirl and Amiable! <br />Amiable, me too! I have a lot of patterns I haven't gotten around to making up. you could make a fall version of the dress by lengthening the sleeves. I've been thinking of doing that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348659 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 18:21:35 +0000 amiable 1348659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super gorgeous! &nbsp;I bought the pattern to make myself this dress - I think it would be a super summer dress. &nbsp;But I'm slow to get around to sewing projects </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348658 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 18:16:51 +0000 catgirl 1348658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much fun!&nbsp; I have a cropped linen moto from Free People and have trouble thinking of ways to wear it - inspired now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348653 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 18:02:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1348653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Deborah</b>, thanks for the idea! More arm would be good to try.<br /><b>CocoLion</b>, thanks. I really didn't think about the cuff too much--I unzipped the sleeves and turned the hem back as far as it would go, full length of the zipper opening. It was easy to keep turned that way. <br />You all are helping me to think more about these choices! I tend to neglect the power of scrunching and rolling.<br /><b>frannieb</b>, thanks! I'll try wearing the jacket that way soon--it's getting to be the right season for it.<br /><b>lisap</b>, thanks for the thought! I wear those Mary Janes a lot for work, because of the comfort. But I like your idea for an alternative, and I think my Vince d'Orsay pumps would be fantastic, for a day with less standing. Hadn't thought of them. <br />Thanks, Angie, Karie, Elizabeth, Janet, quietgirl, Lantana, and unfrumped! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348565 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 14:59:44 +0000 Angie 1348565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You Glam Arty Beauty. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348558 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 14:57:32 +0000 Anonymous 1348558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty dress - great jacket too! &nbsp;I would love to see the dress with a shoe with no ankle strap for a different leg-lengthening look. &nbsp;It is a rather long dress , and I could &nbsp;see it work with a higher, paler shoe .....</p> <p>That's just my eye though - no criticisms from me ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348542 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 14:48:21 +0000 frannieb 1348542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great outfit.

Maybe it's because you have your hands in your pockets in photo #1. I like the cuff on the sleeves too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348489 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 12:35:37 +0000 Elizabeth P 1348489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love from me.&nbsp; That dress is wonderful!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348485 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 12:22:26 +0000 Janet 1348485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great look on you -- I really love the jacket with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-dress-and-cropped-moto#post-1348484 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 12:20:11 +0000 Quietgirl 1348484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great look!

I adore this look Firecracker. The proportions are fab and that dress is wonderful. If anything I would roll the sleeves a little higher (or scrunch) so that there is a little more arm showing. This would just create a slightly better balance between skin and covering. Awesome shoes. I have a very similar pair in soft grey snake! </p>
