Vogue 8472 Jacket

This is the second time I've made this pattern, the first was made from cotton ticking as a muslin (read the review here). I was happy with the muslin, the fit changes I had made to accommodate my brick-like figure, so this is my 'real' jacket. The fabric is a jap cotton print with brushed cotton contrast panels.  It's a little hard to see the details but I have added pleated patch pockets and covered buttons on the front.

I really like the whimsical Audrey Hepburn feel this pattern has, it's kind of timeless but also of the moment. I'd probably front up to make it a third time, maybe with different details. I can definitely see this in a metallic nightclub shimmer!
