Double tucks do the trick for providing the needing jacket shaping in the front for B5053 with vertical darts providing some definition in the back. Now I have shaping in both the front and the back of this jacket pattern. I used another pattern I had with double CF tucks to complete this look (Simplicity 3688, the Retro Blouse Pattern).
Actually I really like the overall effect of this pattern. It makes a great casual summer-weight jacket to wear with a fitted tee if you use light-weight but sturdy fabric (in this case quilting fabric). I like the shaping on the sides and the hem of this pattern. This one is great with jeans!

Nicely done! It looks like it could really be a versatile wardrobe piece.
That's really beautiful! I like it so much that I jotted down the pattern number to make one for myself...sometime. I'm trying to finish up about twenty thousand other projects, LOL!
Hey, I like your blog! Actually, your link at the forum doesn't work (you've got @ instead of .) but I tracked you down anyway. My fiber adventures are over at http://wwww.xanga.com/fibermom.
Since you linked it, maybe you are planning to share more of your sewing once you finish your degree and have time for life? I haven't had time for sewing, either, this year.
