Vogue 8259 Chanel jacket - muslin 2
Here's muslin No. 2 with changes from the original pattern. I'm pleased with this but recognize there is still some tweaking to be done. For instance, the back needs a little more ease. The back armhole needs to be adjusted to eliminate those diagonal folds. When the jacket is worn with nothing beneath it, it looks better, but I will wear the jacket with a little t-shirt or blouse, so that's something to consider when you are making jackets or coats. You need to test it with clothing under the garment to get a more realistic picture of what it will look like in use.
The original pattern had one side panel, and no shaping on the back.
No wonder it's boxy.
Changes:
- back side panel added (for shaping)
- back princess seams (more contour)
- small tuck in front princess seam panel (accommodate bust fullness)
So here we have version 2 of the muslin. It's looking a lot better.... maybe when it's not 2am I'll post better pics, maybe when someone offers me that second pot of tea at 3 in the afternoon, I will turn it down.
Tomorrow... the sleeves.
