Yeah...I go for the skirt (with a solid jacket) option...or a Jacket (with a solid skirt option)...blouse/cami in the light embroidered color...great looking fabric.  Or..make a camisole and use it under the solid skirt/jacket.... or if you do nightwear...great for a nightgown....(short and flirty... ) robe to match....

OOOOOhhh Very pretty!! It would make anawesome show jacket for me, LOL!! With the occasional crystal in the flowers!! But somehow I dont think that would float you boat as much as it does mine, huh?!! But a skirt or dress jacket would be nice too!! Stephi The husband, kid and horse get all the goods, when is it my turn??

I love that fabric! I pictured a loose-fitting accent jacket. (http://store.sewingtoday.com/cgi-bin/voguepatterns/shop.cgi?s.item.V7916=x&TI=20010&page=6) or this blouse that looks jacket-y, doesn't it?

Great ideas! I'm leaning towards the simple jacket style. I just can't seem to make up my mind. Thanks for some great ideas gals! I'll let you know what comes of it.
