This shapely jacket is done in a substantial woven cotton blend, with a dimensional texture and innate structure. It has a set-in shoulder, with long sleeves, a short funnel neckline and an asymmetric button placket in front. The fit is very close through the bust and shoulders, before flaring easily through the hips into a swallow-tailed hemline. A contrasting, semi-sheer attachment in back furthers the Edwardian bustle vibe. But if you fancy a more traditional look, that little bustle can be unbuttoned and removed. We find this is running quite small.
