Notes	Jacket for the dress made of the same fabric. Fabric: reversible polyester woven jacquard with some cotton or viscose. I will not line it as the back of the fabric is really nice. : I would like to make it as a jacket not as a coat. I will use hook &eye instead of a zipper. Alterations: takong in 2 cms under the breasts at princess seams, and at the waist. Taking in 2 cms at waist in center back seam. ( ok because the fabric I use is lightweight, with coating fabric I think the size would be alright. Lowering waist by 5 cms ( usual alteration for me. ) However, took in 1 cm at the front neck corner each sides because it was somehow overlapping in the front neckline.. and I had to take in 4 cms at the back center front only on the top to shorten the neck circumference at the back to avoid the entire front piece dropping down at the front making it visually not fitting... this is the only strange alteration I had to make.
