Shorter, rounder women can sometimes feel like they permanently reside in a Fashion Wasteland, but no longer! This semi-fitted top works as a jacket or blouse, with standard bust darts, a slimming asymmetric closure, and figure defining torso darts. View A has lapel collar and side tie belt closure, while View B has a simple faced neckline and four button closure. Both are fully lined with set-in, two piece, wrist length sleeves. View C is unlined, sleeveless, with lapel collar and side tie closure.

Suggested fabrics are light- to medium-weight wovens or knits in silk, rayon, cotton, wool, or linen. Fabric requirements do not allow for shrinkage or matching.

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.
