I have been wondering: If you have a sleeve like that, wouldn't it be possible/easier to do the shortening of the sleeve by taking the entire part higher into the armscye? I bought a jacket for DH as a present and the sleeves are too long, too. It doesn't look too bad, but every time I see him wear it, I think about this option of alteration. It can hardly be more work than re-doing all the buttonhole stuff.

Hmm, I never thought of that! What a pity, so many opportunities missed...

Let me be entirely honest: When the 1970s-flared trousers revival came up first (and even before that), I said that I'd rather be dead than wear one of those. When everybody was wearing them, I tried on one too, and found that it is a nice optical counterbalance to slightly enlarged thighs, as long as it's not overdone. The same I should say for those wide shoulders. Some of the patterns then had amazingly clean lines, and I loved (and still love) Sean Young's look in 'Blade Runner'. One shouldn't overdo it, of course, and the vivid colours and dazzling rhinestones on some of the 1980s clothes are more than just a bit irritating. That said, I have very wide shoulders by nature and am afraid that, to achieve the intended look and line, I'd need a football player's gear in my jacket. ;-)

I seriously doubt Alexis' look is EVER coming back:

But if they did come back in style, I hardly think I would consider wearing them, since age has to be considered. At age 81, I don't think they would be the right style. Emily
