Description
I made a short, lighter version of the Alden Coat. I also added some ruffles and instead of lining I finished it with pink bias tape. I didn’t have any problems with the pattern and recommend it to everyone interested.

I like someone else that commented on your work, joined because I saw your jacket. It inspired me to stop being lazy and to start really sewing.
Thank you!!

I can’t remember how many times I have viewed this coat of yours. I just love it. The ruffles made it so unique.

Wow! The ruffles completely transform the dress- I liked the original design but you just put a whole new twist on it which I love. Congrats!

I just joined, and I think it was mostly because I got so excited when I saw your jacket. It is truly beautiful!

You’ve done an amazing job. Those ruffles are a work of art – so neat.

It’s a beautiful jacket. Love all the details in the back. If Isaw you on the street I’d think that you dropped a pretty penny on that one ;) Great job.

That is so beautiful, I can’t believe it is the same pattern . You did such a wonderful job! (I’m a little jealous, ok, really jealous!)

Wow very baroque. Makes me want to try that pattern too.
Feb 25, 2008, 01.22 AMby aleb
this is so very cute!! maybe a little too decorated for me, but this pattern works nicely at any length. Great idea and perfect creation!
Feb 25, 2008, 01.17 AMby susisonne
That looks really great! I also like the ruffles. Nice job!
Feb 24, 2008, 11.29 PMby senasews
Looks absolutely faboulous! I love the ruffles! Great!
Feb 24, 2008, 11.06 PMby lauriana
I love those ruffles on the shoulder seam and front yoke! And the inside looks very neat.
Feb 24, 2008, 10.49 PMby fashion1
absolutely beautiful! your alterations are great!
I think to work with the pattern is not so hard, too. Only when you use a very thick wool fabric (like me on my winter coat …) it´s very difficult to sew. It was also much easier for me to sew it with a lighter fabric.
You did a wonderful job on yours!
