This pattern was inspired by vintage office wear. It is intended to fit with zero ease at the bust, slight ease through waist and hips, for a fitted, retro silhouette. A high neckline balances the open cable keyhole in the back, and a cabled collar finishes it nicely. Short sleeves allow for year round wear.
