I know it is easier to use patterns that have already been altered, but I have so many patterns that I've purchased that I really would like to make. This is one of my recent purchases from a thrift shop. I love the curves in the collar, the v- neck, and the v points at the hem of the jacket.
Alterations: Removed 3" from the sleeve length
Removed 1" from the length to waist
Added 3" to all jacket bodice pieces for length
Removed 2" from neckline to decrease depth of v
Added 5" to skirt length
Omitted elastic in back of skirt
I'm considering remaking this very soon.
