I am new to posting on Threads, and love the feedback I'm getting.

Clarasita, this jacket was made for someone else, so I'm afraid I can't model it, but it does look terribly smashing on her! I would be delighted to make something for you!
The Russian steppe jacket is my size, so I will have to get a photo uploaded of me wearing it...

Thanks again to all my commenters!

Clarasita Clarasita writes: The more I look at this jacket, the more I love it. Actually, it makes me want to commission a similar one from you. So versatile and flattering. Love the sleeves. Could be worn over dark jeans or a formal velvet skirt equally well. Again, I'd love to see this one ON you!
