I am not so sure about it...I made the cream jacket. I am not so sure about it, but I will bear with it. The collar needs undersewing which isn't in the pattern. The collar sits back on the shoulders, so I have to be careful not to pull it up too far thus making the back too short. The arms are a bit tight at the top. I am not over weight, just in the right range for my height, but I think the sleeves could have been a little wider up top. I am going to put 3 smaller buttons on it as the material will fray too much with the larger button hole. I will persevere with it though. I only made it from remnants, some old curtain material actually. I hoped the collar would drape nicely with that. It won't stay put like in the picture. It will need arranging to stay there. Hope this is useful for you.manlygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09968430335986359507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998816148058255900.post-75433010460119354802014-03-18T21:50:42.962-04:002014-03-18T21:50:42.962-04:00I made the white jacket.

It sits back on the shoulders, so I will have to be careful not to pull it up too far when I wear it because it will be up at the back otherwise. If you have big arms at the top, it may not fit. I am not overweight, but it just fits my arms. I would prefer a bit looser.<br />The collar won't sit like the picture unless it keeps getting rearranged by wearing it. I am going to put 3 smaller buttons on it because I am only doing automatic button holes. When I did some samples with larger button holes, the material frayed too much and I think smaller button holes would work better with the fabric. manlygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09968430335986359507noreply@blogger.com
