I am going to give the zipper a whirl.<BR/><BR/>Hi Heather! I don't know what it costs to do alterations - it's one of those things where, knowing I can do it myself, I can't justify getting someone else too do it. As for the jacket, I have thought of a Chanel style. I have several older jackets in that style but lately, I seem to have gravitated toward lapels. Maybe if I wait long enough, I'll go back to the round neck.JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-81842341531007011822007-11-29T06:58:00.000-05:002007-11-29T06:58:00.000-05:00Nice to hear from you Julia. I know what you mean ...Nice to hear from you Julia. I know what you mean about the zipper replacement. When they go on the jeans in this house, I gather them all up and take them to the alteration shop!!LOL.....much cheaper than me sitting here stressing out...in fact, so cheap that I wouldn't do them for that price.<BR/><BR/>I was thinking about the jacket, how about a chanel style re-do?<BR/><BR/>I need some shirts too and it is not for lack of shirting fabrics...lol.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I love your coat....still.<BR/>HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18007802.post-90681253830622199162007-11-27T22:51:00.000-05:002007-11-27T22:51:00.000-05:00The blouse looks great! The zipper replacement wo...The blouse looks great! The zipper replacement won't be as hard as it looks at first- I've done one and survived (even wore the skirt later!). <BR/><BR/>With the fabric- everything old is new again...I swore I'd never wear leg warmers again after the 80s but I found myself seriously contemplating a pair the other day. Keep us posted!Chicago Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10824131635259985128noreply@blogger.com
