  I agree with several of the comments above. I also like that the jacket is short. Cropped jackets look great on petite figures. It doesn’t look ill-fitting in the photograph. Nice job!

  lovely jacket, I like the length of the sleeves and the collar- or lack of it :D

  I agree with @smallone. A lot of the patterns sold at the store are sizes 6-12+. I have never found a pattern for sizes 0-4. But it is very easy to adjust patterns by folding them at certain places that need alterations.

  You did great!

  Your jacket looks great, in fact I looked at this pattern just yesterday…..nice clean lines and great fabric choice.

  I’m pretty petite and I have to remove 1 -3 inches from the center back of pretty much every pattern, its one of my standard alterations…. I guess petite isnt just about shortening bodice length you get to be petitie in more than one direction :)

  So if you wanted to revisit this you could maybe add in a center back seam and remove the excess there, you could tell if it would work by just pinning it out first….. you might also find removing excess at the back gives you a better fit at the front too….you’d have to alter the facing but you could probably put a pleat in the lining, the front looks a pretty good fit to me.

  Wow! I have wanted to make a jacket for awhile now but have never been brave enough. Well done!
