Hot Patterns: Three-Piece Sweet Jacket, Tank & Scarf 1185
This trio has a youthful, sophisticated look. The jacket is hip length and split at center back. It has front and back princess seams, small bust darts, and two-piece sleeves. The V-neck tank has French darts and a curved high/low hemline. The scarf’s triangular ends are joined by a narrow strip. Our tester noticed that the darts are not scaled, so on the smaller sizes check and adjust the darts if necessary. The jacket’s back-neck facing is about 1⁄4-inch wider at the seamline than the front facing. To cut the scarf in one piece, as suggested, buy an additional 1⁄2 yard of fabric. Alternatively, add a seam at the back neckline.
(Sized 6–26 for busts 32–52 in. and hips 34– 54 in.)
Style Tip: Each piece is a different length, which makes this trio perfect for layering.

I am interested in this pattern. I really wanted to see the back of the jacket and the scarf. Great that we can look at all sides of the outfit in 360 viewer, but no scarf.
