My version of the
@lespetitestailleuses #meijacket worn on a drizzly grey walk in the countryside.
I made mine in a size 40 based on the size chart, no mods, felt like a perfect fit as always from
@lespetitestailleuses ! The garment has the right amount of ease and shaping to enable comfortable wearing, not always easy to find 🤗 As evidenced by my recent makes, they have really become my go-to pattern brand for well drafted, beautiful garments.
Made up in a dry waxed cotton twill from
@arkdefo , surprisingly water resistant despite being the dry variety! Always a pleasure to sew and love a natural performance fabric.
At first, style wise, I wasn’t sure how different it would be from my
#sacha _lespetitestailleuses , but after cutting out and piecing together I really understand. In my own words, the Sacha jacket is more like a feminine take on a chore jacket, whereas the Mei is almost like a cropped and minimal take on a trucker jacket. There are many details on both that elevate them, but fit wise that’s how I’d compare the two.
