Style Arc Marni Ponti jacket

I haven't seen too many reviews on this jacket, and it does have a bit of a peplum (with deep pleats in the front waistline) But, I just trusted style arc's great style (and cut generously on the side seams.  The pattern was a dream to sew, and quite fast (its unlined).

The ponte is from Charlotte's Studio in Port Charlotte, Fl.  Even though it's fairly lightweight and polyester, I couldn't resist the color or the houndstooth pattern.  The ball button and elastic loop closure are from Gayfeather fabrics in Madison, WI.  (I thought my stash had every button known to man, but Gayfeather's has even better stuff!)

These pictures were taken on my body double (my eternal gratitude to Deb Holden for wrapping me in brown tape to make it) and it fits just like this on my body as well.  I like it and plan to liven up some black wardrobe basics soon
