Hello, and welcome to the Viper Blazer! This blazer is beginner friendly for those wanting to venture into the world of tailoring. This blazer is cropped a bit shorter than a traditional blazer with an extended lapel that has a very 1970s feel. The lapel and length of the blazer could both be altered with a little tweaking but the pattern acts as a great base. The blazer is designed to be double-breasted but could also be made single-breasted, like the sample made in the instructions. If you intend on making yourself a double-breasted, I would go a size up, but if you like a single-breasted, stay at your current size. As always I HIGHLY suggest making a cotton Muslin mock-up! Blazers can be tricky and you want to make sure you have the right size for you.

The pattern will have a cutting layout, and a list of fabrics and notions needed. If you like a shoulder pad ( this blazer looks great with one) I suggest purchasing one that has a little more structure.
