I was having a play with flare from the yoke of this pattern to see how much fullness I could achieve, taking it from only one point on both the front and back. In this instance I didn't take into account the life of the fabric I would be sewing in, and as a result the flare kicked out too aggressively. HOWEVER ... after a bit of playing around with some tucks and a pleat at the back, the jacket looks like it has come into a personality of it's own, and is fabulous! It is designed to sit closed, there are no buttons or 'do-up's' and as the fabric is quite similar to a quilted cotton, it is both light but warm. The jacket is fully lined and has small shoulder pads to level out the fullness of the hemline.
