How I Shop for Patterns #3

My latest order from Club BMV has just arrived!  I always look at the pattern web-sites when the new releases are first announced, so that when Club BMV announces a sale, I am ready.  Now, I would have passed on the above because you can't really see the design.  This is because they chose to photograph the designer's original, which was made up in black.  That's why you have to look at the line drawing:

I've always liked Anne Klein designs, but a few years ago the company went "down-market," and now the clothes that are available in retail are classic designs, but made up in inferior fabrics.  Have a look over at Nordstrom.com to see what I mean. 

Look at how many opportunities there are to fit this jacket!  I have a RTW jacket with these lines and it fits me well.  The princess line on the jacket front will allow me to make a deeper curve for my "C" bust (easy FBA--full bust adjustment), and the waist seam along the back will let me adjust for my sway-back.   There's even a center back seam.  I'll definitely need to make a muslin, but at least the lines already exist.
