Vancouver ...Raining here in Vancouver, Canada, too! Vancouver Island's west coast is our Ireland, we're kind of like Great Britain and BC's Interior is like southern Europe, grape vines and all. ;)<br /><br />I like #9 and #10 but personally my favourite raincoat is my Sewaholic Minoru (and not just because Tasia is local!) I've been wearing the heck out of it all spring. Unfortunately it doesn't follow some of your basic criteria because it's a longish jacket with an elastic waist and a zipper. Also a hood. Super-flattering on everyone I've seen in it though - including little old me.Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136040603292106359.post-56945931030802370562012-06-23T00:29:22.716+01:002012-06-23T00:29:22.716+01:00Welllll . . . after careful consideration:

It would give you the coverage and movement you are seeking without being too full and too plain.<br /><br />Have fun sewing!Alaskapsychnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136040603292106359.post-17867568350031579742012-06-23T00:24:10.464+01:002012-06-23T00:24:10.464+01:00I like the more traditional, masculine, but not bo...I like the more traditional, masculine, but not boxy shapes such as Lauren Bacall might have worn but they have to have a belt, though I think it's better to ignore the buckle and just tie it (which might make it settle at the natural waist so maybe no need for fiddly adjustments).<br /><br />My favourites are 4,7 and 8 (probably 4). <br /><br />A few years ago I saw the perfect trench in a magazine and have been waiting for my sewing skills to improve to that I could make my own. It's a D&G and the price was quoted as POA (so I didn't ask...). I have it filed away somewhere: it's beige with silk, leopard-print lining. Here's a black version I found --- which isn't anywhere near as nice - but will give you an idea of the feminine shape: http://www.polyvore.com/dolce_gabbana_ruffle_trench_coat/thing?id=12326717<br />Maybe someday it'll be mine.<br /><br />Sorry I'm rabbitin' and you've got work...Mariannahttp://www.sew2pro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136040603292106359.post-35409476709190874452012-06-22T16:46:26.371+01:002012-06-22T16:46:26.371+01:00I love #2 and #10.
