I too expected it to be drapier. I keep pulling it out and petting it, thinking about how pretty yours is felted. I think I would have done the deed last night except that I have a front-loader which is terrible for felting! I'm about 95% sure that I am going to take it to a friend's house and felt it - it's just so much prettier as a jacket than it would be as a dress.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960046004728670898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-61776058155931787832009-02-25T23:37:00.000-05:002009-02-25T23:37:00.000-05:00Fab jacket.
