Marnie ~ The length is perfect. It looks great and frankly the PJ pants make the entire outfit!!!!! maybe you could find some sandels and socks that would be WICKED KOOL!!! Ok, I am joking. Great work!!!!!!!!!

beautiful!
i can see why you would be concerned about length. it looks a bit longer than things you tend to make for yourself. but i think it's a nice-looking length. in the end, you're the one who has to wear it though
i know you mention your arms are really long. do you think the slightly longer body would balance out the arm length any better?
i do love the shape and drape of the body by the hips though. i think you got that spot-on. it still looks fitted but with a lilttle flare.

That is gorgeous! I love the swooping necklines you use. They're so feminine and dramatic. And the pj's just add to the mystique. The whole outfit just screams dramatically comfortable.
Congrats on the MOKS win, too. I can't wait to ship your prizes out!

I like the length of the body and the sleeve - I think they coordinate very well together into a very nice feminine/retro silhouette!

Wow, that is gorgeous! I like the length - I guess it's a little more like a jacket than a cardigan, but it creates a really nice line together with the shaping. Any chance the pattern will be made availiable when it's all finished?

it is beautiful and i think your designs just continue to shine. when do we get to try it out? length-wise, i think it would be a preference thing, i like hip bone area myself. either way, you have another lovely thing.

The length is just lovely and will balance the sleeves elegantly. You'll be so happy when it's done and you can toss it over a skimpy top and jeans or over a simple dress.

Wow! It's really looking good. I think the length is perfect, it looks great on you, even with the sleep attire! BTW, I noticed that you won something on Yarnpants, congratulations.

Another positive vote here! It's beautiful. Personally, I'd wear it that length, I think it's spot on perfect.
Love the sleeves. So pretty!

I'm so happy to have found your site. It is inspirational. Such a beautiful top! I really adore the style of it, and it looks so comfortable. I mainly sew, but am incredibly tempted to take up knitting. I hope you don't mind that I am linking to you to keep in touch for inspirational ideas. Best wishes always, and I have to say, your dog is adorable.

Wow! Another absolutely beautiful design! I think the length is nice, kind of like a tunic length - and the Cameo is really cute!

It looks great. Never having made anything big, I can't comment on the assembling, but it makes sense. Better than having to do it all at once, ugh. I really sort of like the length, but I could see it being a bit shorter too. Such talent!

the jack is an absolutely beautful color, and has a great design and drape. It's an example of projects gone good.
I also read your National Geographic entries- brilliantly funny!

Your cardi looks perfect, but don't do the i-cord closure, that looks too much like bed jacket then..

Hi there...your sweater is so elegant! I agree with the previous comments - the longer length works. I can see why you might want to change it if it's not your preference, tho'...love your blog, your creativity and style! Cheers-

I love this sweater. I hope, hope, hope that you sell the pattern. Incidentally, before I read your notes, I was thinking that I'd shorten it a little when I make it, but that would be more flattering on *me* -- I think it works on you.

Love how the sweater is looking. What about a small decorative clasp? I-cord ties would be too heavy for the front closure.
Congrats on getting your pattern in the second book!

Hi,
You are such an awesome designer !!!
I'm really glad you seem to go a bit more into the "professional designer that gets paid for her work" because your patterns are really worth more than just being posted for free on your website !!!
And this one I find perfect (even though for me I would probably rather go with slightly longer sleeves), color, lace inserts, length, design.. Is it going to be available somewhere ?
Thanks for being so inspirational
