The pattern is a size 16, my measurements fit pretty much spot on (minus the waist, but it's not a fitted jacket.) I whipped up a quick muslin and it fit great from the start.
I followed the directions to a tee (minus the ones I goofed on, like the cutting instructions on the lining). I didn't like sewing the lining in by hand, today's "bagging" technique makes for a nice lining insertion.
Oh, Annette, I love your jacket. So very chic and fits your beautifully. A winner in my book!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane, you've made my day.
