Notes	First version of this jacket. I ordered with low waist option. Amendments: I needed to take in 1.5 cms in the center back at the neckline and 2x2 cms in the front neckline as per image! I think it is a lot I also have to lower the bust point by 3 cm which is not nothing. Regarding the armholes : it is ok if I use 0.5-1 cm thick shoulder pads. But if I don’t, then I would need to raise the armholes and the entire shoulder and also the neckline somehow. I will just add a small pad there. Although I had the impression that this design was more casual… I needed to amend the armholes adding 1 cm to the back and removed 1 cm in the front approximately. This is a standard alteration for my body shape
