Your jacket is lovely - makes me wonder why I haven't pulled this one out to make yet...

Looks like a great jacket to throw on in summer. I love vintage styles. This came out great. Fully agree about the "swayback"!

First, I love your blog post about sizing and accepting your personal size. I recently came to the same conclusion! Now I just make it Linda-size and it's so much better. Maybe the patterns are keyed towards younger bodies? Anyway, we seamstresses rock all styles because we can make them our own. And I really like your jacket too!

Love this jacket on you. This might be a good style for a variety of body shapes. Look how great it is from the BACK!
