Ah...didn't look that closely, just at the "lines" of the jacket. I have a scarf that's threads joined in the center and it snags like crazy. Thanks for pointing this out for me. I guess I won't wear this anywhere!
Had to chuckle at the wedding dress comment, though. When I got married the first time (too many years ago to count), I didn't drive, had no money for a taxi, so I did what any city girl did, I jumped on the subway wearing my veil! I had just had my hair styled at a shop (didn't have the luxury of having a stylist come to me), and needed to get to my ceremony site. Gown in a garment bag, veil on my head - off I went! I did definitely raise some eyebrows that day. Wedding #2 - nothing as dramatic. Got dressed at home, drove myself to the church, got married, new DH drove home. Much prefer wedding #2!
