Sew News: The Fashion Collection
Fall 2004

Well Oriented

Add a dash of Eastern spice to your wardrobe with McCall's 4599 (Misses' sizes 6 to 22). This feminine unlined jacket or vest closes in a gentle curve, secured with loop-and-knot fasteners or self-covered buttons echoing the wide edge banding or more subtle piping. Details include a modified mandarin collar, dart fitting, choice of long or three-quarter sleeves, and armhole binding on the vest view. To maximize the flavor of this dramatic dish, trim a luxurious silk brocade with a coordinating shantung, dress up corduroy with a challis print, or add a touch of the unexpected with printed denim.
