This week we're starting our jacket sew along using Vogue #1817. A Marcy Tilton pattern.
For reference I thought I would list the finished garment measurement here. I only have these measurements for sizes 8-16 as they are not printed on the envelope only on the actual pattern, so I apologize for not having the measurements for additional sizes but I hope these are helpful>
size . bust . waist
8. 38". 42 1/2"
10. 39". 43 1/2"
12. 40 1/2". 45"
14. 42 1/2". 47"
16. 44 1/2". 49"
