One of the patterns I picked up at the fabric fair was New Look 6519 - a fitted jacket with raglan sleeves, a mandarin collar, and princess seams (and pretty simple pants, skirt, and purse) after reading about it on Pattern Review I decided to make a muslin to check the poofiness of the sleeves, and determine the proper size. My flexible tape measure is MIA so I used a 40" knitting needle to find my bust size (37.25) and decided to try the size 14. I haven't put on the collar yet, but so far, it looks like I don't need to adjust anything!
Another interesting facet of this pattern - it only had the 1st page of instructions in it - I'll be winging it for the lining and cuffs.
