I used the same cheapy (but cute) fabric as I used on this Burda WOF skirt. BWOF says to use lightweight blouse fabrics with some body and this fabric seems to work create. My wool is a twill that had a soft hand. I think it will be perfect. I put the center band on the bias for some interest.
It is the details of BWOF that I love. This jacket has 4 pleats up top and elastic inserts in casing that give it shape in the front and back. The buttons that are on it are not the real ones. If you noticed, they are all different versions of white/bone buttons. I think I'll use a neutral bone colored button but use a bigger one. BWOF isn't any help they just say, "three large buttons."

That's a great'muslin'! What a pretty jacket. I like the idea of the bigger buttons.
Another really cute pattern. You are on a roll!
That's a really cute jacket. I agree with you about BWOF's details. Aren't you glad you came back to BWOF?
Okay, this is one pattern I saw in BWOF that I thought I might actually make. It looks great on you and I love the plaid. Maybe try large covered buttons in the plaid? I'm seeing a lot of RTW and couture showing fabric-covered buttons.
I love that jacket! Very cute!
Ooo, that is so cute! It is on my to-sew list and seeing your version makes me long to make it!!
Oh, that is so cute! I'm not sure I would have looked twice at that top if it had been hanging on a hanger, but seeing it on you makes me want to try to sew one for myself! The pleats around the neckline are brillant! :)
I loved this one too and hope to make it! Now just to find some fabric (& time to do a muslin!) It looks great Dawn.
You are a sewing fiend! I can't believe you've made two things already! And they look great! (And hey, you now have a suit!)
Yes, you're right! Those are cute details. Great top!
