For the love of Asymmetry

She said she wanted an asymmetrical jacket, and I think I nailed it! She wasn’t sure about linen at first, but I convinced her to go with this medium-weight, 100% linen from Fabric-Stores. My customer was worried about wrinkling, but I believe a few wrinkles are a small price to pay for the luxury of linen. Plus, the lining will help minimize them.
The linen was perfect for all the tucks and flaps. And the best part? You can’t see the buttons or buttonholes—I hid them!

The jacket is darted in both the front and back for a flattering shape. The asymmetrical flaps in the front are echoed in the sleeves, creating a cohesive design. I especially love how the flaps form a perfect ‘V’ in the back—it really accentuates the owner’s cute figure.

Of course, there has to be pockets!

I was thrilled when I found this beautiful lining—it adds a special touch to the jacket and absolutely delighted my customer.

Now if I could just get a picture of my customer wearing the jacket.
