“I designed this jacket with its flattering shape to be adaptable for many body types. Regardless of your fitting problem areas, you’ll find that this swing jacket will enhance your figure. Select the bust size that pertains to you. Its A-line shape is created by changing needle sizes rather than by decreasing and is especially flattering for those who need mroe room at the hip area. The attractive V-neck front shaping lengthens and elongates the torso and is ideal even for those who carry weight in the bust and shoulder areas.

The other flattering feature of the jacket is the three-piece construction that eliminates a too-tight set-in sleeve for a fuller figure. If you have narrow shoulders, add a shoulder pad for a proper fit.“
