Striped jacket

BurdaStyle Asymetric Jacket 03/2012. Really simple jacket. I used a striped cotton, white open-ended zip and white buttons on the wrist. I didn't make any alterations to the pattern apart from not lining it - just used the facing around the neck. Nice pattern, easy to sew...

  2. Hi - you've inspired me to attempt this jacket - would you mind telling me about the size you chose and whether it lined up with your measurements? I haven't tried a burda mag pattern before!
    Thanks very much.

    1. Hey Catherine,
      Thanks for your comment.
      I cut a 38 and it was fine, however I made a mistake with my seam allowances and it is a tiny bit smaller and tighter than it should be. So I think it runs pretty true to size.
      I usually cut 38 on top and 40 on the bottom and it's fine :)
