Hi! Thank you for watching this video :) So so excited to share with you today how to make this vintage Chanel-inspired Gabbie jacket that captivates your attention first with its gorgeous straight-silhouetted fit, and next with its delicate and pleasing symmetricity of the softly rounded neckline, intentionally placed princess seams, and closure-free Front edges.
→ Make it cropped or full length and enjoy the fullness of its stunning sophistication!
