This classic princess-seam jacket is a blank canvas for creativity. It is lined and has a round or V-shaped neckline. Choose from a half sleeve with a hemline box pleat, bracelet, or full-length sleeves. Five trim ideas are included: a self-fabric bias trim, purchased braid or pregathered trim, decorative buttons, or a button-and-loop closure.

(Sized Misses’ 8-18 for busts 31.5-40 in.)

Style Tip: This jacket goes traditional in tweed or brocade or modern in denim or poplin.
