Gorgeous Beyond Words!
I received both the jackets and the huggies today. Just can't find words to describe how ecstatic I feel. Feel like jumping up and down with joy. The huggies are gorgeous beyond words. Love, love the sparkling diamonds, Trellis baskets, and pattern design (which helps to give more sparkles, like an in-out diamond hoops as someone from PS said). I am very proud to own this gorgeous and unique piece (well at least the first ever made, after other PSer's jump on them).
Other than aesthetic aspects, Joseph nailed it in terms of proportion and functionality. First, the size is much smaller than I thought. He managed to make it with a diameter of only 18.5mm, thereby maintaining the look of formal huggies (rather than the more casual and flashier hoops). Second, his latch closure design is SOLID and easy to put on/take off (something that is opposite to the flimsy, crude, and difficult to work huggies from IDJ). I think he should get a patent on his latch closure design. I am glad that I did enough research online to accidentally stumble on a thread about his latch design. The information is embedded in many posts within the thread, so many people miss it. I shall make a note of it in my PS write-up, which may come later due to lots of work.
Just to give you quick feedback. Thanks for all the help, and thanks to the entire Whitefalsh staff for giving me another enjoyable and memorable purchase expereince (of course in addition to my bling). Looking forward to more future projects soon.
