That looks way better on you than on the pattern jacket.

Enabler :) I've been resisting this pattern because I thought it may be too boxy. It looks great! I might have to buy the pattern now...

Very cute jacket, although it's true you might enjoy wearing it more in a softer fabric like a light wool. It seems to hang open in a wedge a lot - how about adding what Sandra Betzina calls 'walking ease', a wedge of fabric along the front that gives the illusion of hanging straight?

Thankyou fuzzygalore for the 'walking ease' tip, I looked it up and I think it's going to become one of my standard jacket alterations for a full tummy.

Looks great, HeathersMom! I always love how you include RTW pics that match the patterns you make.

I, too, thought this pattern was too boxy, but it doesn't look boxy at all. It looks great! Thanks for this great review!
