It's late so I will share construction details on the jacket tomorrow.

from the wool that I bought with Elizabeth from Mood Fabrics...
The wool has been pretreated...the pattern pieces altered and everything cut out...I will finish this up next weekend. I feel a little calmer now because I have plans to make a dress! *LOL*
...as always more later!

That's a very pretty jacket and really, the whole outfit looks terrific. I don't know why you don't care for pants beause they are very becomming on you. They lengthen your body and are very slimming. It's a good look for you.
That jacket is REMARKABLE. The color,the fit and the fabric choice. It looks beautiful
How chic, how slimming and you look taller too!
Just wait for those compliments!
This is one terrific looking outfit! You look absolutely stunning!

You look like a million dollars. Best thing about blog posts is that you can see patterns made up that you might have passed up yourself. Great jacket, very elegant.
Carlyn, you are a picture of fabulosity in that jacket/pant combo. You need to revisit that look again and again. I know you love dresses, this look is awesome on you. I hope you see that, too :). I really reallllly like it!!
The jacket looks great and the fabric was $1.95/yd. Super,super score!!
That jacket looks beautiful on you! I have that pattern so now I'm enthused to make it.
I know you love dresses, and you always look great in them, but this is a great outfit for you - looks fantastic!!
I am dazzled by your skill and speed - it would take me days to achieve all that! That outfit looks amazing. The jacket is so beautiful and works perfectly with the pants.

What an elegant, sophisticated outfit! It looks great on you and is very flattering. I know that you prefer to make and wear dresses but this combination looks like a real winner on you.
The jacket, the pants - what a great looking (& fitted) outfit, but I just really love that jacket. Don't think I would have thought of that fabric for that jacket, but it was a great idea.

Beautiful Jacket.
With the dress, are you using the actual pattern or a TNT and the pattern for design inspiration?
I think you like pants about as much as I do, but they look really great on you! Very flattering silhouette with the jacket.
Tres chic! What a stunner of a jacket. The whole outfit is so polished and sharp!
Your jacket and pants are both beautiful. That fabric is so pretty. Thanks for sharing!
Stunning! This outfit is so chic, so polished and so flattering. You look amazing. You'll have to make more of these (at least I hope they're in the plans!).
