Vogue 8398 - The Cropped Black Jacket

I am finally getting around to taking pictures of my cropped black jacket. At first, I was not sure if I liked the look on me. I am getting used to it. I think I would feel a lot better if I made one in a print. I especially adore the black and white square fabric that is featured on the pattern envelope. I love black and white fabric and I am so glad to see this color combination at my local fabric store (e.g. Hancock's).

My version is a combination of view A and view B. I used the main jacket of View B (collar-less and below elbow sleeve), but used the rounded bottom of View A. Did that make any sense??

So, here I am wearing the jacket and providing you with 3 views (front, back, and side).





I am not so sure I like the side view. No wonder the pattern companies only provide the front and back views on their patterns.
My Susie-Q is always borrowing my garments and patiently waits for me to take pictures of her showing them off.

Oh my gosh! This looks SO cute on you. I know what you mean about those side views, although I think it looks just fine in your pics. Several of my swing jackets are very full on a side view. I think that's it's the style though, and I'm just not used to it.

Very cute!!! I've never noticed that pattern before!

Very cute. I'd wondered about the side view, too, but the jacket looks great on you!

Ladies...thank you for the complements. I do need to get over the side view and get used to it. :)

I really love how you combined elements from different views.
