This is a semi-fitted jacket that hangs open in the front, usually worn over a blouse. It is slightly short of the waist in length. The main body is in three pieces, Back, Side Back, and Front. The front is fitted with a single dart. The sleeve is in two pieces, in either full length, or rounded ¾ length. A sleeve jockey can be worn over the long sleeve, or alone as a sleeve by itself. This jacket is fully lined and without boning.

The bodice is drafted based on a tailoring method actually used in the 1860's. Each size is hand drawn, not scaled. All of the bodice seams are true to the era, and it is designed to fit snugly over a corset, and hoop.
