Completed Project: Burda 8995

As scheduled, I completed the short jacket to go with my sixties sheath dress, Burda 8995.  The jacket came out really great, and it complements the dress nicely.  I chose some really cool buttons for the back of the jacket.


Sorry for the wrinkles.  I got excited and started taking pictures before the final press!  So, here's the dress with the jacket.


But my favorite is the back view!


Anyway, I hope you like it!  I'm thinking that this jacket would go nicely with a few of my other dresses as well.  Do you mix and match your outfits, or if something is meant for one outfit do you keep everything matched together?

    That's very nice! What pretty buttons! I mix and match skirts and blouses a lot as long as they look good together.

      Thanks, Deborah! I like the buttons, too. I think I will wear it with other dresses!

    I found your blog via We Sew Retro. I really like this dress - I mix and match jackets with dresses but as much as I love sewing I do not have much time for it at present.

    That goes perfectly with that african print sheath. I guess you have to have someone help you put it on !

      Yeah, that is a downside! Trying to figure out how to get it on by myself!
