1) Alex convinced me to get my head out of my behind, and I'm watching Planet of the Dead now.

2) I know that her jacket costs something like $600 (I'd look FANTASTIC in that!) but, oh gods, even tho' I've got ten years on her, I'd love to cosplay Christina DeSouza... Although it would mean cutting bangs in my hair. I might even be willing to do that.

The fact that the actress has curves cheers me no end.

Heh.

PS - dammit, Karen Millen no longer offers the jacket. Time to dig out the how-to-sew-leather books. I've got good reference pix, I could probably pull it off. Eventually.

I'll dig up my equestrian pattern links for you tonight. I've got a couple, somewhere.

(Try searching for "dressage jacket" and "sewing pattern" on the same page)

No luck, alas. The coat I'm looking at is based on a British military pattern, and a lot of the sites I've looked at focus very specifically on American patterns. Although the current Marine Corps dress blues are pretty close, finding patterns for them is like pulling teeth out with pliers.

Hm.

Let me put out word to the Brit sewing peeps. This has now become... A CHALLENGE!

Eeee! Thank you :D
