A tailored, well-fitting jacket can take you wherever you want to go. This navy blazer, with your choice of three collars, is just too sophisticated to stay home after work. Metallic thread, sequins, and crystals will light up the night.

A shaped-waist, mid-hip length, jacket with fitted cap sleeves and a v-neck, worked in an overall slip-stitch pattern. The hemline, button bands and sleeve cuff edges are self-faced. There are 3 shawl collar variations presented – one covered with sequins, a cobweb or lacy version trimmed with beads and a leaf-patterned version, all buttoned to the v-neck area of the jacket and made as separate pieces.

All collar versions are charted (8 charts).
