I made this coat to match the BWOF 12/2005 Gown reviewed previously. I also would like to thank the sewers and friends that visited for their nice comments on the dress. They mean a lot to me.
Descrição do modelo: Preciosa e graciosa, esta jaqueta tem um certo ar dos anos cinquenta, para o qual contribuem as suas linhas de estilo, como a gola larga e descida nos ombros e as mangas a três quartos justas. É um modelo simples e glamoroso!
Model description: Precious and graceful, the flair of the fifties is present on this tailored cocktail jacket. Its style elements, broad scarf collar and narrow tree-quarter sleeves, really worked together into achieving the fifties look. Simple and glamorous!


Pattern size range goes from 34 to 42 and I traced a 38 with a slight sway back adjustment. This pattern is rated *** (out of five stars) on difficulty level (Advanced).
O tecido usado foi um poliéster engelhado, com bordados em ponto ziguezague, cuja cor e estilo achei que ficariam bem com o vestido. Fiquei muito surpreendida pelo facto do tecido não ter perdido o efeito engelhado ao entretelar e ao assentar a ferro.
I don't know the right English name for this fabric, it's a kind of embroidered polyester, and it has a nice shine and wrinkle effect (if someone knows the proper name to this fabric, please tell me…). It was surprisingly easy to interface with fusible and to press (I applied light pressure), it didn't loose the wrinkled effect at all.
Em seguida podem ver a jaqueta de lado e de costas:
See the side and back view next:
Now I will point out some interesting and worth showing details on this jacket; in the next photo there's one of the buttons (the three buttons nearly cost as much as the rest of the fabric/notions needed to make this jacket!):
In the next picture you can see a close-up to the bounded buttonholes:
Also note the interior button finishing:
See the sleeve cap perfectly eased to the armhole:
Finally, there is the small sleeve slit, seen on both outside/inside of the sleeve (the lining is hand stitched to the sleeve facing):
That's all for today, I hope you like this jacket too! Hugs to everybody and see you soon!
UPDATE:
A pedido da Stacy adicionei uma foto minha a usar o vestido e o casaco. Foi tirada depois do casamento; o vestido estava bastante amachucado pois passei várias horas sentada no casamento. Peço desculpa pela foto sem cabeça, mas sou um pouco paranóica em relação a colocar fotos da minha cara na Internet.
At Stacy's request, I added a new photo taken just after the wedding (that's the reason of all those wrinkles on the dress: I spent several hours sitting down). The photo was taken from a high to low perspective, so I guess I look smaller too :). I ask for your indulgence on the headless photo (I hate them as most of you do); a friend and co-worker of mine once was a victim of a poor taste joke that got out of hand involving a picture of her that was tempered with and got out to the internet, so I am a little paranoid about posting pictures of my face now.
