Description

The Poas Jacket is a perfect little cropped jacket that flatters many figures. Cropped jackets have a elongating effect due to the waist definition. Wear this unlined jacket over a dress or with a high-waisted bottom. You can even wear a longer fitted knit top underneath for an interesting visual. The double princess seam will give you a great bust fit.

Poas Jacket features:

• Options for cup sizes
• Front and back yokes
• Double front princess seams
• Single back princess seams
• Faux chest pockets with flaps
• Long, sculpted two-piece sleeves for a great fit
• Functional sleeve vents with buttoned cuffs

Sizes: 00 – 40

Choosing Your Size

• Determine your cup size—subtract the circumference of your over bust from the circumference of the fullest part of your bust. If the rounded difference is 1″ (2.5 cm), use A cup; 2″ (5 cm), use B cup; 3″ (7.5 cm), use C cup; 4″ (10 cm), use D cup; 5″ (12.5 cm), use DD cup.
• After determining the cup size, compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Using the corresponding row for your cup, choose the size that best fits your bust. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
• Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
• Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
• It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
• If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.
• It is highly recommended that you check your fit by making a test garment with inexpensive fabric that has similar weight as your final garment fabric.
