I'm thrilled to finally have this jacket done. I love it. It is so comfortable and I love the fit. The time I took to make the sway back alterations on the muslin paid off. I think this is the best fitting jacket I made so far.
Pattern Review- Jacket Vogue 8259: Pattern Description: MISSES’/MISSES’ PETITE JACKET:Semi-fitted, partially interfaced, lined jacket, below waist has princess seams (no side seams), stand collar, patch pockets, long three-piece sleeves with buttoned vents and purchased trim. A: couture construction techniques, quilting details, contrast front and sleeve facings, collar lining. Pattern Sizing:
SIZES | - 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 |
Cuff Inside view
Fabric Used: Bouclé, and satin back crepe for the lining.
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made.
- 1- I made a sway back adjustment and I took in pretty much every seam. I could have made a size smaller.
- 2-I underlined every piece with fusible knit tricot interfacing and also added hair canvas to the front and did pad-stitching to the front pieces.
- 3- I made bound buttonholes. My fabric was a very loose bouclé and I had some trouble with the buttonholes. I made my test buttonholes and the fabric was fraying /tearing around the buttonhole stitches. (Making the bound buttonholes with organza and using a 1.5 stitch worked great)
- 4- I made a front facing
- 5- I added a chain to the hem.
Final inspection

Superb. Your chanel jacket is so inspiring. Every detail makes your jacket extra special. I'll have to try my hand at it.
FANTASTIC! Your jacket is a perfect Chanel, congratulations!
Fabulous jacket. Very Couture. The blue will be gorgeous with your coloring. I hope that Dawn sees this jacket, because she's taking the couture class and going to meet Claire Schaefer.
Beautiful job. Congratulations.
That jacket is so beautiful - it was well worth the wait to see it. You did a great job. How long did you work on it?
I love loose wovens like this for this kind of jacket and it looks fabulous. And pad stitched horse hair makes a jacket lay so beautifully. And your bound buttonholes are perfect. Kudos!
Wow, wow, WOW!!!! What a FABULOUS jacket!!! You should be very proud, everything about this jacket is perfect and well thought out! I LOVE it!!!!! It was well worth all the time invested, and I'm sure you'll be wearing this gorgeous wardrobe piece for many, many years!! BRAVO!!!
Your jacket is exquisite - all the extra effort you put into it really shows in the final garment. Gorgeous!
What fabulous work! You should be very proud. Thank you for the excellent review.
Fabulous jacket, very inspiring. Love all the details.
Yes sir, this is a nice jacket, no doubt. I like a lot of style, such as the status of the trimmings placed a few millimeters from the edge. The sleeve is fabulous and of course the interior looks great without a sharp contrast. this is a pattern to be, sure.
Congratulations Ann, and thanks for showing this work.
ahhh. Inspector of work takes its job very seriously ....
Best wishes, Paco

Gorgeous "Chanel" jacket, beautiful trimmings and buttons. Enjoy your new jacket.
I dream of making a Chanel lacket and yours is fabulous.

What I paticularly like about yours is the white satin lining it looks fantastic, the trimming the collar and the cuffs
