GoldenPig - Your ruffle trench is gorgeous!
Scarlet - What's great is that there are no shoulder seams, so the fit is determined by the chest/back instead - I wish my other coats were cut this way!
Rae - Oh yeah? Glad you think so Ms. 5'4" because guess how tall I am? You might need to consider a similar silhouette! lol
Vildy - I haven't had a chance to use the knuckle clutch yet, but I think it will have it's first outing soon. Glad you enjoyed the site ☺
Jonesy - Hee hee, tomorrow I'm posting a trench centric comic on my blog - it translated well!
CityGirlDC - Your trench has serious potential, and would be a great weekend project: iron it (hee hee!), swap in black buttons (or cheat and paint them with black nail polish!), swap in a black belt - ta da: amazing statement coat. If you're good with a needle and thread, you could also do a black ribbon edge at or above the hem.
Thanks again everyone!
