BUTTERICK-5257 JACKET, BELT, SKIRT AND PANTS

Fitted, lined jacket has shawl collar, princess seams, double-breasted front opening with button closure or snap closures, left collar may be rolled higher or closer to neck to create a mock asymmetrical effect.
I used a double faced wool gabardine. Instead of snap closure I made button closure. The only thing I did not like about this pattern is the length of the jacket. Its short. I am a  petite so I have to shorten everything. I did not shorten this jacket and its too short for me. If I make it again, which I probably won't, I must remember to add at least 2 inches to the jacket.
