Bolero jacket Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

Simple sewing instructions are written on the pattern paper.

This pattern set includes a collarless bolero jacket with an open front, and a blouse designed to match the jacket.

The back of the jacket has openings for wings, as shown in the reference photo. This is useful when making cosplay costumes with wings.

When the wings are not used, the zipper can be closed to cover the openings.

The jacket can also be made without the openings.

After printing, align the pages along the guide lines, paste them together, and cut out the pattern pieces. Seam allowances are included, so you can use the pattern as-is.

Jacket Sewing Steps
