Festiva Jacket

An elegant lace waterfall jacket for smart casual wear in warm weather, with a sheer transparent look and a very soft drape that hugs the body closely. The waterfall fronts are easily adjustable and can be made short as shown, or longer with more wave. Tailored for comfort with a roll collar, sloping shoulders, tapered raglan sleeves and either a straight body profile or an optional method to shape the waist for both women and men. The jacket is worked seamlessly from the top downwards in a flexible diamond mesh. Construction is easy, beginning from the top of the collar and simply working further components onto each other. For more adventurous makers, included are optional blossom lace motifs that can be placed as desired.
