So I am making a matching bolero to go with my IW replica JSK. I cut the pattern out the other night & it will need some altering. Fortunately not too much. Mainly just fitting. The arms are really big & the length is a bit too long. The underarm is too low too. After I fix that, sewing it will be easy since I just need to sew the front to the back. I also want to add a ruffle along the edge & cuffs and have ribbon ties in the center to close it. I think it will be cute. I'm going to wait on color because I want to buy my dress fabric first. I'll match it to the dress fabric.
Here's the pattern I chose to use:
