Notes	I was a bit disappointed with this pattern. The jacket is massive across the shoulders and armholes - reminiscent of the worst of the Big 4; of course I don't expect a pyjama jacket to be fitted, but this could benefit from being a little 'closer cut'. in addition, the instructions seemed to belong to another garment entirely. Fortunately, I'm experienced and the garment's simple, so it wasn't a problem. I do like the way the lapels are faced and then fall open so neatly - in a plain fabric, they would be begging for embellishment. Pretty combinations of plain main fabric/patterned facing and vice-versa could also be constructed with ease.
