An elegant lace jacket for smart casual wear in warm weather, with a sheer transparent look and a very soft drape that hugs the body closely. Tailored for comfort with a V-neckline, sloping shoulders, tapered raglan sleeves, and swing shaping with draped front edges.

For more adventurous makers, included are optional blossom lace motifs that can be placed as desired. Contents: Simple guide for choosing your garment size based on your back neck measurement (to suit your own gauge), comprehensive section on pattern alteration (to allow fitting of the plain pattern to your own body type if desired), row-by-row written instructions for both UK and USA terminology, detailed stitching charts, tutorial for the lace technique with sample motifs.
