....a very old (about 22 yrs) Jeagar Jacket?

It's Dark green velvet, slightly military in style with sort of braid on the edge. It has slightly puffed sleeves and I would wear it with a very plain black dress from Tesco

I never thought it would fit me again and had packed it away for my DD....I have lost so much weight it now fits again

i would say yes. assuming it's not tatty being that old. don't see the problem.

I've got a feeling green velvet is back in... I know nothing about these things though!!

Katymac · 20/11/2006 08:11

Gosh no it's not tatty

I spent about an hour steaming it with a kettle

I bought it when I was 16 it had been £129 reduced to £29 and it cost me 3 weeks wages

I alwats loved it - but only wore it ocasionally as I kept it for "best" - then I got fat

Well I wore it for a party in Finchley yesterday

But today my "style Guru" said that it was old fashioned and not current enough

I think I looked great?
