I'm with Angie, Ceit. We need to see these jackets on you.
My excuse today was I had to go to the dentist. While there, I just had to drop off the other jacket for its alterations...and the rest...well, it's not history yet, but I suspect it will soon become history!
Angie, thank you so much for weighing in. I was surprised at how much I really liked the white. It's just a lovely jacket, full stop. And is a soft white so suited me better than I expected. I think I will take Sveta's advice and wait for the sale (because she's right - they never sell out). And meanwhile I will think about outfits I might make with it in spring.
