it is huge. I used a 14, that has the best measurements for me, but I could have gone down 2 sizes, I think. I want to make it again trying that. As you can see, I bias tape finished the facings, topstitched them down and finished the seams. Even the added shoulder pads are covered. I love the finished product, but it is really big. I may see if I can find a loving home for it. At least it's not a wadder.
About Me

- Myra
- I am a Homemaker and Freight Broker (with my husband) who has a love of needle crafts, sewing, crochet, cross-stitch. I learned to sew in 2007, really love using vintage patterns (1940's, 50's, 60's) & and seeing how I can modernize them with fabric choices and trims). I need 25 hours in a day to get to everything I want to do!

It looks beautiful. You did lovely work.
It's really pretty -I hope you find a good homw for it.
I really like this jacket. It's too bad that it doesn't fit. Whoever the lucky recipient is could wear it inside out since you finished the insides so well. Thanks for your kind comments on my blog.
