Speakeasy Jacket
Overcome by the romance of Eureka Springs, I did a gently flounced jacket that looks like it once roamed the halls of the Crescent Hotel, circa 1912. The wide V-shaped neckline is framed with a flounce collar, as are the three-quarter-length sleeves and slanted hipline seam. The belt buttons onto the back with three buttons spaced to force a gentle fit at the waistline. in linen only, $165. (mouseover to see belt detail) |
