Neck: 17
Shoulders: 18
Chest: 40
Stomach: 36
Waist ("Bodice", she measured from shoulder to waist): 19

Hello Nyambura,

thanks for your quick answer. I'd prefer the first or the last design, how much would I have to pay for the whole jacket on both options (including labour)? Do you eventually have another two or three design options that you could share with me?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Jesse

Hi Jesse,
I found a few more fabrics. Kindly have a look and let me know what you like. I've also indicated the prices as all of them cost 1500/-

Jesse 08 Aug 2019 3:37 pm

Okay, I checked the fabrics. I prefer the very first design you sent me (the one with a purple and yellow stripe in the middle and green and purple triangles). I am okay with the price and I'm looking forward to receiving the jacket. I'll leave Kenya on August 23rd, so I will have to pick it up before that date.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Jesse

Hi Jesse, that's an excellent choice. I'll get to working on it and have your jacket ready on the 17th.

Many Thanks,
Nyambura.
