Pattern Description: Misses Wrap Jackets and Belt: Unlined, fitted
jacket with long sleeves has peplum variations; Jackets A,C have purchased belts, Jacket B has self-fabric belt. This pattern is OOP.

Pattern Sizing: 6-20

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes, except I added a different style belt.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes; this is my second version of this pattern and it is very easy to sew.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love
the fit of the jacket and the peplum.

Fabric Used: faux silk embroidered with silver circles

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made an obi-style belt out of the same fabric.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes and yes...it is easy to sew and takes very little time.

Conclusion: Very easy to wear jacket that can be dressed up or down, depending on the fabric used. For more pictures and details, see
