Oversized jacket makeover

This is a jacket purchased at thrift store. Originally it was over sized with wide shoulders, too short sleeves and gaudy buttons. To fine tune the jacket to fit my model's body, I made several changes. First the buttons were removed and an old sleeve hem let out. Next the sleeve placement at the shoulder was narrowed 1". At least 2" was taken out of the circumference of the sleeve it's entire length. Finally to better fit the torso, side seams, princess lines, and center back seam were equally taken in. The result, a better fitting, more attractive jacket.
