Nancy Blazer
Nancy is a cropped semi-fitted double-breasted blazer with a straight silhouette. The fit is created with the help of bust and waist darts on the front bodice. The back bodice has waist and shoulder darts, and a center back seam. Nancy has a classic blazer-style collar with a stand, the edges of the collar are rectangular, and the lapels have pointed edges. There is a non-functional breast welt pocket on the left side of the front bodice featuring a decorative flap with a folded pocket square look. The back has two decorative tabs of a trapezoid shape. These tabs are inserted into the side seams and fasten with buttons and buttonholes (they can be used to add a more fitted look to the silhouette). Nancy features long two-piece set-in sleeves, and fastens with buttons. The blazer is fully lined and is 3–4 cm (1 1/8”-1 5/8”) below the waistline in length.
Approximate sewing time: 2,5 days.
Model Angelina: Height 171 cm (5'7"), Bust 82 cm (32 1/4"), Waist 59 cm (23 1/4"), Hips 88 cm (34 5/8"). Angelina is wearing size 36 in height 3.
To sew this blazer, choose suiting fabrics with the following properties:
- medium weight, easily pressed and shaped with steam, breathable, soft, non-stretch or with little stretch, opaque
- the fabric content can include natural fibers (wool, silk, cotton, linen), artificial fibers (viscose), blends (wool + silk, wool + polyester, cotton + viscose, etc.), and synthetic fibers (polyester, polyester + elastane)
- the following fabrics are recommended: wool suiting, viscose suiting, linen suiting, gabardine, denim, corduroy
Attention! We do not recommend very stretchy knit materials (jersey fabric) and lightweight sheer fabrics (chiffon, organza, stretch lace).
For the lining, artificial fibers (viscose), blends (viscose + elastane, viscose + polyester), or synthetic fibers (polyester, polyester + elastane) are recommended.
The blazer in the photo is made of suiting fabric. This fabric is medium-weight, presses well, soft, with little stretch. The fiber content is a blend of 63% polyester, 34% viscose and 3% spandex. The lining is a blend of viscose and polyester.
