I knew I had to have it, but so not for $44.00. BTW, it's since been marked to $34.99 if you shop online. Anyway, I am a jack of all trades, and decided to do it myself! Yep. Another project....someone shoot me now! I went to the thrift store, and finally found a jacket for $7.17.
As you can see, it had it's share of issues, but was perfect for the recon! A ladie's size 14 that I had to wheedle down to a junior 7. I purchased 4 packages of seam lace because I couldn't find any eyelet in red. (I had considered buying white and dying it, but this was already gonna be a job.) Oh, and the lace was $1.35 a package. Drumroll please.... 
I already wore it to work, and had a few compliments, so that made me feel pretty good. My sewing is not all that, ok? That's why I went to pursue other crafts...hoping to find my nitche. So...what do ya think???
