90's Jacket Makeover

This 1990's cashmere blend jacket was thrifted a while ago. While I love the fabric, the colour and how well made it was, the shape was not flattering for my broad upper body, particularly the huge shoulder pads and  the too-long sleeves.

I decided to refashion the jacket : narrow the shoulder seams and shorten the sleeves to 3/4 length. And now it looks like this:

I think it now looks better for my proportions. I'm happy to have a better fitting, warm and colourful jacket for the cold months!
