Not All White

Butterick 5190 loose-fitting, unlined jacket has dropped shoulders and stitched hem.

 
These are the pants from Vogue 8886 from this previous post.The top is Simplicity 1961. I didn't take pictures in my church all white this time. I wouldn't wear this jacket with casual wear because the fabric is so delicate, dainty, and just plain lovely.

I saw this jacket here. 
I only wear this jacket with dresses or with pants as worn on the pattern here. 
 
Fabric: 1 yard of White Embroidered Chiffon Ribbon purchased from Joann Fabrics using my 60% coupon. Polyester lining from Vogue Fabrics.
 
    Sizes: 8 - 24
 
    Alterations: Added lining, snap, and ribbon on right side of jacket at center.
 
Polyester lining was added by cutting the lining fabric using the same pattern pieces.
 

This is an easy pattern. It's one of my favorites.

  3. I agree, this could go with anything. Wear it, I say - no good having it hanging there in the cupboard because it is too delicate to wear. It looks super and suits you .

  5. So adorable, and yes it can be worn with a lot of combinations. I can picture it with a navy and white tulip skirt or pants.
