the turquoise makes such a vivid difference! hood is lined with tan and brown marbled cotton which i just adore. jacket torso is lined with a loose weave cotton of ecru color with thread strands running vertically in browns. sleeves are unlined.<br /></div><div>this is a great jacket for layering! good for 3 season wear! it's a size medium misses and has a great fem yet roomy cut. </div><div></div><br /><div>i thought i'd never finish the applique!!!! i get carried away cutting and placing the pieces only to later realize, oh my, i gotta stitch all THAT!
