It made me realize that all the tops were fine and not the problem at all. And I knew there was one, but just hadn't figured it out yet. I knew I liked the skirt a lot. But hadn't come to terms with the fact that the kimono wasn't happening. And with your help, I know what I can do to make it all rock and roll! yeah.paohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642040846510090078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855116479106700295.post-61855946623925180712017-01-11T08:31:27.750-06:002017-01-11T08:31:27.750-06:00And yes I can understand and I agree.

Shortening the jacket and adding a curve is just the answer I think. Suggesting hand-sewing it is a good idea too, especially on velvet on a bias. ooo, I'm all excited about it again.

The only thing I might change would be to shorten the jacket slightly so that there was always a layer of the blouse below it. I think a slightly shorter jacket would still work with the longer blouse too. I'd play around with maybe shortening only the front, or the front more than the back, of the jacket. Maybe a curve rather than a straight hem, but maybe not. I do appreciate the matching boots!Radostinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891397765534930525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855116479106700295.post-42237713254653159052017-01-10T10:11:38.177-06:002017-01-10T10:11:38.177-06:00What does one wear to best complement a velvet sui...What does one wear to best complement a velvet suit? Well, you've got some great options and it's always good to have options! I think all 3 work beautifully and I love them all for different reasons. The orange tunic is a great length and very fun, the silk print is gorgeous and elegant and the red and blue is so vibrant, so they all project different moods and they all work with the velvet as do the doc martin's. You you could ditch the kimono but I love this non-traditional suit.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785495876492830220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855116479106700295.post-54379524633404224692017-01-10T09:59:04.983-06:002017-01-10T09:59:04.983-06:00You have been a busy beaver, haven't you?
