The well-fitting blazer is a business essential, but so many designers refuse to acknowledge the vast amount of women who are shorter and rounder than their models. Quit being so frustrated -- make your own blazer with this pattern, specifically drafted to flatter the petite plus figure! This fully lined, softly shaped tailored jacket features princess seam detailing, double welt pockets with flaps and easy mock-vented two piece sleeve. View A has a lapel collar and three button closure, while View B has a simple V-neckline and four button closure.

Suggested fabrics include woven or knit suit-weight fabrics (consider our wool flannel or one of our sueded hemp cottons). Fabric requirements do not allow for shrinkage or matching.

Are you a bit hesitant to try such a seemingly-complicated pattern? We highly recommend the Constructing the Princess-Seamed Blazer DVD, specifically created to remove the mystery while simultaneously teaching you some really cool tailoring techniques.

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.
