I've admired it in the store. It adds interest but will " pattern mix" also.<br /> I have to resist having TOO many coats, but they add so much when you have the right variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee/page/2#post-1612566 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 13:28:51 +0000 Jjsloane 1612566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit of the coat and your outfit. I think the coat is interesting enough to have a spot among others in your wardrobe (including the future project). I like having a selection and even though this doesn't tick your blocks it looks nice and sounds like you didn't pay too much so I'm on team keep. Can't wait to see what your new coat comes out like - you are so talented.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee/page/2#post-1612555 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 12:47:38 +0000 Staysfit 1612555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You ave a good eye for what works well on you! The coat is fab. I'm not sure it would be warm enough for the Midwest although this winter is an exception. It would be fine because there hasn't been much cold or snow anywhere, including the few big snowstorms, this winter has been mild. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee/page/2#post-1612440 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 01:25:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1612440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, thanks for sharing your cold-weather layering tricks. I am tucking that one away for future reference. I've been much more drawn to the idea of a down sweater for me than a down coat, so I like the idea of layering with a packable down coat. And I agree, Chicago is way colder than Indy! That lake wind is something else.</p> <p>Brooklyn, I agree, a little longer would be great! Knee-length is so hard to find in coats. </p> <p>And we're off. . . the burgundy coat is cut out! (Took me all day. [sigh])</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee/page/2#post-1612147 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 07:03:52 +0000 Brooklyn 1612147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the coat. It is a beautiful colour and perfect style for you. I do wish it was about 2 or 3 inches longer. But I would still keep it especially if the price is right. Can't wait to see your burgundy coat. The made by you tee is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee/page/2#post-1612134 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 04:30:30 +0000 Beth Ann 1612134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the patterned coat -- classic, but a bit romantic and playful, too. &nbsp;As for warmth, well Indy seems warm in comparison to Chicago! &nbsp;Seriously, though, since we get around almost entirely by car, I find a heavy coat necessary only on the most brutal of days. &nbsp;When it's really cold, I layer one of two ways: &nbsp;a cute fleece moto style jacket under a longer lightweight (packable) EB puffer with drawstring waist and hood. &nbsp;Or: &nbsp;the EB puffer underneath another EB coat: &nbsp;a raincoat with a nylon shell. &nbsp;This last combination is great for being out in wet snow or cold rain. &nbsp;Everyone else in my family has a EB coat "systerm" that can be worn with both fleece (or down) and shell layers, or one layer at a time. &nbsp;They're very sport of course, and I'd love to see a more "fashion" combination. &nbsp;Maybe a lightweight packable down jacket -- to midthigh, layered underneath a boucle cocoon coat?</p> <p>Love the sound of your coat project, and your new tee is lots of fun --- your own statement tee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee/page/2#post-1611964 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 19:01:44 +0000 Mirjana 1611964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An exceptional coat, Firecracker, you are so fabulous. I love that outfit, I think it totally works with your style. I like you style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611887 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 16:44:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1611887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!<br />Diane and Ginger, I appreciate your commiseration and encouragement. I'm excited about the project, and a bit anxious, too.<br />Karie, that's wonderful news! I'm glad you're enjoying the serger and your classes. And now you're a sewing star--teehee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611841 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 14:23:44 +0000 Sara L. 1611841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the coat!&nbsp; I also love your outfit with the tee and shrug.&nbsp; Good luck with your coat project. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611839 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 14:21:29 +0000 Ginger 1611839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't need my Yay vote,&nbsp; but I'm giving it anyway! That's a terrific coat, and meshes really well with your style. Very interesting, fun details, and a really good length. I think it's a good choice to supplement what's available, and it doesn't conflict at all with your goals for the burgundy.&nbsp; I totally hear you about putting off a big project like that, too. You've kind of got to commit to a lot of work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611836 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 14:01:00 +0000 approprio 1611836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat is fantastic. You should definitely keep it. Nice to see you post again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611796 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 11:02:58 +0000 Karie 1611796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat is super cool, you simply must keep it! And of course you know I love the tee you made. BTW, I have been sewing/serging up a storm lately - I found an instructor and took a serger lesson as you suggested, and then liked it so much I decided to take a few sewing lessons too (how to line a skirt, how to fit a pair of pants). In fact, the instructor was featured on a TV news segment about women in business, and they filmed her teaching me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611794 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 10:53:37 +0000 Anonymous 1611794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The flocked hem coat gets a huge thumbs up from me! I also love your day off outfit. You find the most unusual fabrics for tops.</p> <p>Can't wait to see your new self made coat. It sounds divine! No mean feat making a coat though...as I know all too well. Good luck and keep plugging away at it, it'll be worth it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611787 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 10:17:13 +0000 lyn67 1611787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the landscape tee, and the coat!

I am encouraged by all the support for this coat that I don't really "need"--ha! I don't know how I didn't notice it earlier in the season, except that I wasn't looking for a short coat.<br />Aida, I had typed an answer to your question about the coat I'm making, but apparently didn't hit "submit." The coat will be a straight style with an asymmetric closure and band collar, a single button off to the side at the top and hidden snaps below that to keep it closed, slanted welt pockets. The fabric is wool boucle/tweed in black with wine shades. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611738 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 04:32:51 +0000 Sally 1611738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fabulous coat ...I like the colour and fit.&nbsp; Love the boots and jeans outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611733 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 04:26:19 +0000 Anonymous 1611733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been thinking about this coat since I first saw it online some time ago .

You can't go,wrong with something that distinctive, yet classic. If it's too light for your climate, layer! I have one coat that's kind of lightweight and I wear it over a blazer and it's perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611666 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 01:56:29 +0000 Anonymous 1611666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An exceptional coat for your exceptional style.

Well, I would keep it I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611635 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:23:44 +0000 olga 1611635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>keep! looks great </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611630 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:16:15 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1611630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, it's not warm enough for the Midwest. It's more of a Seattle-winter coat. But the one I'm making will be warmer as well as longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611627 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:11:14 +0000 Angie 1611627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coat is great on you, Sharan. But is it sufficiently warm for your needs?&nbsp;</p> <p>A fun casual outfit! The boots are amazing worn over the jeans. I've missed them on the forum.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wib-new-coat-and-tee#post-1611625 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:06:09 +0000 Aida 1611625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's the one! Yes that Pendleton coat does look a little too classic for you; plus it might overlap a bit stylistically with your trench, even though this coat is heavier. Can't wait to see how your burgundy coat turns out. What style are you doing? </p>
