Comfortable, stylish and full of thoughtful details, it's the sort of piece you'll reach for again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe distinctive 1970s-inspired rounded pockets are a real feature, beautifully echoed in the softly curved hemline. A classic collar, button-front fastening, two-piece sleeves and neatly finished cuffs complete the look, while carefully placed topstitching adds a lovely tailored finish. Wear it open over a favourite top or buttoned up as a shirt for an easy, contemporary look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the best things about Ex Libris is how easily you can change its character with your choice of fabric. Make it in a soft flannel for a relaxed everyday layer, choose denim or gabardine for a more structured workwear feel, or try a beautiful jacquard for something a little different. The design is unlined, making it a practical and satisfying project for dressmakers looking to develop their skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e UK 6–24 (FR 34–52)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drafted for 165cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMedium-weight fabrics between 200–350gsm, including dupion, heavier flannel, jacquard, gabardine, denim and faux suede.
