Finished something! Well, except for closures (doesn’t everyone need a little closure?). But there’s enough trim on the black Jacobean jacket, enough to call it baked. ‘Cept do I want bows or not?
I could add pink ribbon bows up the front, prob. four of them. Might still need to close with pins because there’s an odd overlap necessary. as I was trying to preserve the edge crewelwork.
Bows or not? They’re accurate, but part of me thinks it would look silly and not in a good way (you know I’m usually fond of the silliness). But does it look too plain with nothing in the center front? Hmm…

I modified the neckline and then trim, trim, trimmed
Those dang godets
Crewelwork trim to tie sleeves visually in with jacket body
Finished Jacobean jacket, front
Should I add pink bows?
Pity I won’t be able to wear it until probably 12th Night. *sigh* It’ll go nicely with a burgundy velveteen cartridge-pleated skirt from the closet.
