Need input on this.

Poncho w/Flowers

 

I'd appreciate it if y'all could take a look at the linked poncho & tell me what you think as far as adding more flowers goes. I'd originally intended to put a line of flowers all the way down the seam, to cover it up. Now I'm not so sure though. I do like the way 3 flowers looks, and there's the chance that a whole line of flowers would be overkill. But I'm not sure I want the seam showing, either.

 

Thoughts? (It's a pattern-free piece, so there's nothing to deviate from.)

Belinda, how about a vine and some flowers and leaves? instead of just the flowers? just my 2 cents:)

The poncho looks great:)

I agree, maybe a length of chains to look like a vine and then space the flowers out a bit. I do think that anymore flowers would be an overkill

I actually like it how it is. The flowers near the neck distract from the seam. I wouldnt add any more flowers. Three is just right.The doll made me laugh. She looks like she met with a bad plastic surgeon who overdid the face stretch, or shes sucked on a lemon!

 

Who is the poncho for? The colours are very pretty.

I agree with Samio and Vims. Additionally, I think I'd try to make the flowers a tiny bit smaller, more keeping in line with the scale of a doll poncho. It's cute, though, and should look great once it's finished.

I agree with Cupcake. I like it the way it is.

The poncho is pretty! I agree with cupcake, though I would also suggest adding some leaves to the flowers.

Not to be contrary, I think a whole line of flowers would be fun.

It's not a doll poncho, it's a toddler poncho, but my toddlers were in bed by then. I'm really making it just to make it, maybe try to sell it. For some reason the style of poncho made with two rectangles has always been difficult for me, so in no small way this project is to get a handle on that. Thanks for the input! I do think I'll leave it as-is; I've got a commission I need to start working on.

I think it looks fine just as it is with the three flowers if you wanted to add anything maybe a couple of leaves... I would just leave it as it is.

I say add them, I'm currently working on a project that has lots of flower and they are just tooo fun!
