Sleeveless Jacket with Wide and Deep V-neck and Draped Front Panels

When To Wear

Over a fitted top or dress for warm-weather events and evenings out.
With high-waisted trousers or a skirt, where the short length meets the waistband.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Fitted, ending around the waist.

Neckline: Wide, deep V at the front; high round back neckline.

Sleeves: Sleeveless; the armholes are faced with the lining.

Front: Each side is made of three pieces: a gathered upper front panel joined to a centre lower and a side lower front piece. The gathers run diagonally across the upper panel, and the front ends hang loose below the closure.

Closure: One button and a self-fabric loop made from a 3 cm strip, set into the right front edge.

Back: Centre back seam and two princess seams, pressed towards the centre.

Finishing: The lower edge of the centre back is turned in and edge-stitched 0.1 cm from the edge through the lining.

Lining: Full lining cut from the same pieces as the jacket, bagged out at the armholes, neckline and front edges; the front shoulder is enclosed in the back shoulder seam.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Bagged lining with an enclosed shoulder seam, clipped corners on the upper front panel, gathering to match the drawing and a fabric loop.

Stitch the center lower front part to the side lower front. Overlock the seam and press it towards the center.
Stitch the upper front to the joined center lower front part and side lower front. Clip the seam allowance, overlock the seam and press it upwards.
Stitch and overlock the princess seams on the back (center back to side back). Press the princess seams towards the center back. Stitch and overlock the center back seam, then press it.
Stitch the side seams. Overlock the seams and press them towards the back.
Sew the lining pieces together, leaving the shoulder seams open.
Place the lining and the jacket right sides together. Stitch around the armholes, the back neckline and three sides of the upper front. Clip the neckline and armhole seam allowances, and the corner at the notch on the upper front. Turn right side out and press.
Slip the front shoulder edge into the back shoulder, between the main fabric and the lining. Stitch all layers in one seam. Overlock the seam. Turn right side out and press.
Cut a 3 cm wide strip from the main fabric for the loop. Fold the strip in half lengthwise and stitch 0.5 cm from the fold, closing one end. Turn the strip right side out and press. Cut a loop of the required length and baste it to the right front.
Stitch the jacket and lining together along the lower edge on both sides, from the seam joining the upper front to the back princess seam. Clip the seam allowance, turn the jacket right side out and press. Press under the lower edge of the center back. Stitch the lining to the back by edge-stitching on the right side of the jacket, 0.1 cm from the edge.
