Should I or should I not?

Buffy, before I cast on, I've got to decide whether or not to put the striped cuff at the bottom edge of this coat. If not, I will knit a solid turned hem instead. I love the neck cuffs and those at the sleeves. But the bottom?  I've looked at a pictures of some of Kaffe Fassett's other long coats with cuffs. I can't decide. Maybe the cuff makes the coat look more casual--a good thing. Maybe the cuff pulls in the bottom of the coat and makes one's butt look bigger--a very bad thing.


Maybe the answer is a provisional cast on and a diet.
