There is never shoulder pads. But there is, inside the jacket, at the lower hem, a little chain to make a perfect verticality to the jacket. Try "chanel suit" on Ebay, you will find pictures of what I mean. Good Luck!!!

I am going there for the first time and I was hoping you could tell me where the other market is, the one where you purchased your outer fabric.<BR/><BR/>Also, I know we do not know each other, but I was sorry to read about the recent death of your father. Please do accept my condolences. <BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/><BR/>JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18190056827736233613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872859464374171315.post-27032794484794706072007-05-03T06:45:00.000+10:002007-05-03T06:45:00.000+10:00Thanks Summerset.

I didn't realise it had all those Chanel secrets until reading it again. I suppose the first time around I wasn't so interested.<BR/><BR/>I also have at least one Threads article.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529416439720810403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872859464374171315.post-39865061103236062422007-05-03T05:13:00.000+10:002007-05-03T05:13:00.000+10:00Go for it!

If you don't have Claire Schaeffer's "Couture Sewing Techniques", you should get it - there's a section in there on the Chanel jackets. I'm assuming you already have it, but here's a link anyway.<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Couture-Sewing-Techniques-Claire-Shaeffer/dp/1561584975/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-4006521-4374206?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1178132918&sr=8-1<BR/>Threads also ran some articles on the jacket, and gave some pattern numbers to try. I don't think there was a 3 piece sleeve among them, though. If you don't have the article, let me know and I'll get those pattern numbers to you.<BR/><BR/>I love the colors of your fabric and the lining will be perfect - a lot of Chanel's linings were "different".Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.com
