Cropped, fitted jacket with shaped panels, peplum and notched standing collar. I had to add a bust dart to eliminate excess fabric in this area, but other than that, pattern was great. I added sleeve heads because my fabric lacked the structure it probably should have but loved the print so made it anyway!

Thanks for all the kind comments. I was kind of disappointed after making this that I either should have used a different fabric or interfaced more of this because this poly was rather floppy. It just doesn’t hold its structure so it looks wrinkly sort of…if that makes sense. I love it otherwise so your comments help perk me up about it! = )

I love this jacket!! I’m planning to use the same pattern to make a pink jacket… Love your version…the shadow pattern of the fabric is so beautiful!! The sleeve heads added a nice tailored look to it :)
