Make this elegant Kimono-inspired piece
in fluid blouse-weight wovens like crepe,
rayon challis, charmeuse, voile, washed 
linen or chambray, all-over lace, gauze,
georgette or panne velvet. You can also
 use drape-y knits like bamboo, rayon,
light ponte, ITY, silk(y) or linen jersey.

Semi-fitted, unlined shirt-jacket has a
straight silhouette with Dior darts and
side seam-underarm panels. Jacket

sleeves with banded hems. Shirt-jacket
has a rounded collar & lapel, and closes

are optional but highly recommended. 

This easy-to-wear beauty can be worn 
open as a floaty kimono, buttoned closed
and tucked into pants or a skirt, or as a
soft jacket. Wear with jeans, slim or full
pants or a slim skirt; add a belt or leave
it loose.  And of course, this will make a
truly gorgeous lounge or sleep shirt...
