This late 1940s styled Jacket and matching dress are made from a very thick stretch knit Ponte. I wanted to mix the glamour of the 1940s with the comfort of a modern thick stretch knit fabric. The Jacket has many darts at the waist which turn into pleats at the hips. This should make for a very small waist and an exaggerated hip silhouette. One large button with a bound button hole closes the jacket. The dress features small gathers on either side of the boat neck. The dress has darts in front and back for shape, zips in the center back, and has a removable belt. The back hem slit is covered by one side of the skirt fabric which buttons over and forms a draped ruffle. |
