I plan on wearing this over a summer dress, so I did not want buttons. It seemed unfinished with no closure, so I did this....
If I decide to button it....
March jacket done!
Happy Sewing!

March Jacket finished!
Simplicity 2227 turns out really cute if you use the right fabric! Here it is on KellyGirl2.
I have some very old buttons (love estate shopping!) circa 1960 - 70, I just made a loop and attached it on one side, my vintage button on the other.
If I decide to button it....
The pattern does not include a lining, but I wanted it to glide smoothly over my dress, so I made my own. Here is the lining, I bagged it using Palmer & Pletsch's 'Jackets for Real People' I love that book.
If I decide to button it....
