Ouf enfin terminée!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eh oui, tout fini par arriver, j'ai enfin fini cette la veste Chanel. Tant mieux, j'ai vraiment envie de passer à autre chose. Je n'ai pas eu le temps d'adapter le post que j'ai publié sur Go Chanel or Go Home dont j'ai fait rapidement un copier, coller.

I've worn it this afternoon. I can say it is very pleasant to wear and light as a feather. What I like best is the lining ...

and the functional sleeve vents and hand buttonholes

Nevertheless,though I made a muslin and I am not happy with the sleeve heads. I supposed it is because the sleeves are not from the same pattern as the bodice. The shoulders shoud be shorter I think, too bad realy. Another explanation is perhaps that the shoulders seams elongated because they have not been staystiched. This has just occured to me. Anyway I will have to do with this. I will try not to think about this when I wear the jacket. Here is what it looks like seen from the back

Here are some more shots.


I don't know if will wear this jacket a lot, but I learned a tremendous amount of things in the making. The whole experience was a challenge I enjoyed every minute. I wisht to thank  Cindy and Antoinette for organizing this stitch along. I would love to renew that type of sal with another garment. I know that I would probably not have completed the jacket witout this blog.
