I changed it up a bit in by taking the lapel opening all the way to the bottom of the jacket and using a button and loop system.
The buttons are vintage ones I got off my step-mother and the fabric is some I bought last year or even the year before - it has a slightly pearlised surface and comes from somewhere in Africa from recollection.
I also made the sleeves a lot slimmer to try and reduce the amount of volume going on.
This is my second clothing make for May.

Is there no end to your talent?! Gorgeous jacket. I also love the look underneath the jacket with that cute t-shirt and high-waisted skirt.
Looking fab Miriam! Jacket looks great unbuttoned too, perfecto!
I like how you changed the bottom of it, looks really nice the way you did it! :)
Those puffy sleeves have obviously done a full circle in fashion, because they are totally "in" again :)x
I kind of dig the sexy secretary/librarian vibe of the high waisted skirt
It's so funny how it all comes in and out- I definitely left behind the shoulder pads though - not needing any of that bulk on my frame!
I LOVE the material you used!! and the design of the jacket too WTG!!
Beautiful as usualy - I like that you changed the break line (ooh err technical term) so that the overall design has more of a tux jacket feel with your usual quirky fabric. I love the sexy librarian look too :)
you know how I love those technical terms!!!
Tailoring! Gee you are a clever clogs!! x
Wow, so glad I found your blog! Gorgeous job on the jacket; the alterations you made to the design were a major improvement!
Not too clever my finishing needs some work!
Thanks it's always fun to play around and make something your own
