Model A is a very nice jacket in Linen for the Summer.(See below our pink lightweight wool/linen mix jacket)
The sleeves fit well and the construction is easy. Details Model B (binding, closure on the back and seam-openings), are looking very sophisticated. Fold/Pleat in the back Model B, gives more freedom in movement. |
Model A looks a bit "un-finished".
We created Model B in Loden but it did not work; the loden happens to be too firm and stiff. The pleats looked bulky and over-done. The jacket looks not representative at all..... |

The summer jacket in pink cotton bouclé with a silk damast lining. A very nice summer jacket to wear on a casual occasion. It would be perfect to combine with jeans or a skirt.
It is also very suitable for a formal occasion. Combined with a white blouse and black pants!
The cotton bouclé is not easy for sewing and to stabilized the shape. Therefore we have choose a medium-weight silk damast lining.
The botton are pearl/brown.
