With the small numbers of people involved – for me, organising a commission on links to patterns just wouldn’t have enough pay-off to be worth the hassle !

Loved this post especially the first jersey top Butterick pattern, which I am actually going to buy! Seems like you should be on commission!!

I think I have come to the decision that I must be dealing with a high hip also as the ribcage I had when I was thinner seems to be disappearing. What I like about the one Vogue I suggested is that instead of a band at the bottom which can be a problem, it just has a casing and a tie which can be left as loose as one desires.

Thanks for the interesting comments – yes, we do all need to find our own most flattering jacket shapes and style elements. Personally I have large high hips, and keep well clear of all blousons

This is a wonderful post. I too am not best served with a short jacket and pants. However, a few minor changes to the jacket make a world of difference – make it a little blouson with a different bottom like an Eisenhower jacket and it seems to work better. Vogue 7235 from 2000 is wonderful for this, if you can find it. Vogue 2525 from 2001 is another wonderful one. It just softens the look a little and lengthens it just a tad, while still keeping the overall look. I love the tote and wonder if I could possibly manage it in leather or suede.
