Dolman sleeves - 70s evening style!

I admit it. I've always had a secret crush on dolman sleeves. They're no good for me. They don't flatter me. Yet I'm drawn to them.

This jacket is one of those secret dolman sleeve crushes. Wouldn't it be heavenly to wear the jacket sewn out of a silk chiffon or georgette? A bear to sew - do you see the wavy band edges on the model's jacket? I suspect they aren't meant to be way. But oh, what a dream to wear as it would simply float over your garment and sway lightly in the breeze as you walked.

Alas, I truly have no place to wear such a creation so this one will remain in my pattern collection to pull out and admire when I'm dreaming of dolman sleeves 70s evening style.
