You'll go from morning to night in pieces made from this wonderful pattern! The classic zip-front jacket features a funnel neckline proportioned for the petite plus, dolman sleeves, and angled patch pockets. View A has cut on sleeves, while View B has sewn on sleeves. Simple to sew, in lined or unlined versions, and even the zipper isn't overly scary. Make a casual jacket from twill or canvas, or a luxurious version from silk charmeuse. Match your outfit for one long line, or give your clothes a bit of extra panache with a beautifully-contrasting fabric. Leave the patch pockets plain or trim with something eye-catching -- even lace!

Suggested fabrics include jacket-weight fabrics like wool flannel, twill, silk suede, and others. Can't you just see a gorgeous version using our sueded hemp cottons? Fabric requirements do not include shrinkage or matching stripes or plaids.

Petite Plus Patterns are designed for the full-figured petite woman, with narrow shoulders, a full bust, a short waist length, and a rounded tummy. The patterns generally include sizes 14-24, and the sizing chart can be seen here. Shirt and jacket patterns include the Perfect Fit Guide (tm), which provides "Extra fitting help for a perfect custom fit." The patterns are designed for a D cup bust, but the Perfect Fit Guide (tm) includes directions for easy alterations.
