Petite vs. Regular Sizes

Style Challenge-Catherine Walker London

Are my Lovely Readers ready for a new Style Challenge? I found these beautiful winter dresses on the "Catherine Walker London" website. I was looking for wool dresses and found coat dresses as well. I had a coat dress in the 1990's that I loved. I haven't seen them very often since then. #1 isn't a coat dress but I like its classic style. I like the collar and bow details on coat dress #2. The company makes several retro styles like coat dress #3. Please choose 1., 2. or 3.❄

Matching Plaids

I'm old enough to remember when manufacturers always made sure their plaid garments were matched at the seams. Things are different now and many buyers are unaware that their plaid purchases should match. I'm not going to reveal the name of this coat's popular clothing brand or the store that sells it. I'm using these pictures to illustrate how the plaids on all the seams have not been matched. If it opens in the front always check the to see if the plaids match when buttoned or zipped. Then check the side seams to make sure the plaids are matched there. On this coat it appears that the front plaids match but the side seams don't. Look at arms and see if the plaids match with the front and back of the coat unlike this one. The plaids almost match in front but they don't in the back. Look at the back of this coat and you can see that the back section of fabric hasn't been matched with the sides. The pocket flaps don't match on the front of the coat. Always check the shoulders where the plaids from the front should match the plaids from the back. Matching plaids when sewing a garment requires extra fabric and labor. It's much faster when you don't match them especially in a clothing factory. Often the higher priced brands make sure their plaid garments match. I would spend the extra money to have a better quality piece than one that is cheaply made.
