As a fellow-plus size sewer, I can tell you that the vertical princess seams in this pattern are fantastic and the two piece sleeve works really well for those of use with big arms. I'm thinking of trying an experiment with transferring the princess to the armscye and seeing if that works too since that is a different look and would reduce the amount of fabric in the upper chest in that area.

And say that I have the pattern and haven't used it yet but it keeps popping up to the top of my sewing list. I really just want a jacket out of it...not the whole "Chanel Tribute" thing though! BTW, love the Chanel Tribute phrase!!! Can I second the gorgeousness of the jacket! And say that I have the pattern and haven’t used it yet but it keeps popping up to the top of my sewing list.
