However, I love the wool you are thinking of using, too. The lining sounds great, not hideous.

But yeah, I'd describe your swatch as aubergine and I honestly think it has more three-season potential. Because lilac really only works for spring and summer and if you're going to do something as labor-intensive as a suit, you want to wear it as long as possible.

But I think for your coloring, and to get the most out of the jacket in pairing it with what's already in your closet AND as an all-season garment, the aubergine is probably the better choice.<br /><br />I signed up for this course too, as I have never done any tailoring and wanted an introduction. But I don't see myself making this jacket. I've got my eye on a boxy '60s jacket with matching sheath dress . . .Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-167772087216451082012-02-29T09:57:54.035-05:002012-02-29T09:57:54.035-05:00Why the hate for purple?

From the pictures it looks like a more structured weave which I think will add a little more body to the suit. And also, on my monitor at least, it looks very sumptuous. <br />Of course, if you really wanted to spend out you could buy both! And then eat baked beans for a month! ;-) <br />Can't wait to see this progress. I have a feeling it's going to be very beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
