Delavan jacket

Reviewed by Beata on 6th December, 2017

I made the Delavan blazer in a size 6, grading to an 8 at the hips. I added 3cm to sleeve length, 2cm to length at hem, and 2cm to width of collar (as I thought the blazers I’d seen made up seemed to have collars that were visually too narrow).

I found the instructions easy to follow, until it came to hemming the back vent, which seems to have confused a few people. I figured it out, but the instructions could have been clearer here I think. Details of how I did it can be found on my blog: http://tatulinkastales.blogspot.com.au/2017/11/the-flower-power-blazer.html

The sizing seems good, but the shoulders do sit weirdly and collapse a little, which I’ve seen on most of these that other people have posted.
