I think the substitution of the plaited braid was a better choice considering the cost for materials and time. If this jacket was worn by a "woman" she must have been extremely petite. I was blown away by the size. My student is a petite 10 yr old, and possibly would fit into it. The exhibit was just amazing! I was very fortunate that my trip to NY corresponded to the date it opened. The stitch is beautiful and the annimation on the video demonstrating how to make the stitch was excellently done!
