Basket-weave fabric is a clever choice for this short, fitted jacket! Narrow bands on the collar and in-seam pocket openings add couture flair. A concealed button fastening in front underscores the "tony" look. Of course, this slim skirt with figure-flattering hip- yoke is also a chic soloist, but when made up in the same fabric as the jacket it becomes part of a versatile costume/skirt suit that really stands out! By the way: This summer, jackets and blouses often have concealed closures. Learn how to sew a concealed button band in the workshop in our 07/2008 issue.
