The Jacket-some notes

What is it about the jacket...is the jacket really just a silhouette...does it really have to have a collar and lapel...it may have to have some shape around the neck line ; one of the important areas of the jacket is the button line; ask yourself how a jacket is to be buttoned..ask yourself about the line of the button line ; sometimes the button line is an important design line..maybe this is the case when there is no specific collar and thus the neck line curves around ...(is 'curves' the right word...) to the button line..the right choice of buttons is obviously important....what is interesting is that this button line indicates a line of fit...because when the jacket is buttoned up.. you can see the lines of the body..or the jacket.. you can notice the line of the waist and then the hip

//just a quick note to state that an important area is the armhole and sleeve....and the sleeve structure can contrast 'dramatically' in some way with the rest of the jacket....

//also another important area of fit are the darts..and even though darts may not be used..or at least long darts...these darts can certainly give the fit you want...but princess lines...and such are used...but if there is specfic pocket detail on the jacket...maybe darts should be considered...

//these are basic notes...
