No, no photos. Sorry Snarklings, I've been too busy. If the descriptions aren't enough for you to make up your mind and you absolutely MUST have photos, I'll try and find time.
All three of these jackets were made for me by the talented
bluejay23, and are in perfect condition. I just decided that I'm not madly in love with them enough to bother having them altered since I've lost some weight.
(The approximate bust & waist measurements for all three are 44"b and 36"w.)
- Burgundy wool Edwardian-style riding jacket: Size 16/18 -ish, and copied from my beloved J. Peterman riding jacket. Shawl collar, 4 buttons down the front, princess-seamed bodice, and a 3/4 circle peplum that goes just below the hips. The color is somewhere between cherry and wine, and is stunning. Oh yeah, and it's lined in black satin. $45.
- Black satin Edwardian-style riding jacket. The exact same jacket as the burgundy one listed above, but done in a light-to-mid-weight black satin. (Yes, it's lined.) $35.
- Black/silver stretch velvet batwing-point hem jacket/overdress. Size 16-18 -ish. Princess seamed, and is full enough to be worn over petticoats. Mandarin collar, lots of silver buttons (with stars on them!), and made from a mid-weight sparkly stretch velvet (the base of the fabric is black, but has so much silver sparkly thread that the effect is more shimmery gunmetal than anything else. It is NOT the sort of sparkly fabric that sheds glitter). $35.
If one of these things must be yours, leave a comment. If you're not local to me and you want something, we can figure out shipping.

I'm curious of the shoulder measurements as well.
I suppose all of this depends on how vulturous the locals are though. I never get any of the good stuff, y'all all do stuff that puts you at computers all day, so I'm last to know everything. Well pooh on that.

(Oh, and I just measured all the jackets: 18" across the shoulders. I don't know if having that measurmeant is at all helpful to you, but thought I should let you know.)

. . . curse you, camera, for breaking down and needing to be replaced at this crucial moment!! X_x
However, if the wine-colored jacket isn't snapped up, I'll take it!!

I could have *sworn* I saw a post from you, lamenting that you were feeling unwell. Silly me.
