Trish
Her bust: 34"
.5" positive ease
I would make both the hem and the sleeves of this jacket shorter for 4' 11" Trish.

Toni
Her bust: 33.5"
1" positive ease
The jacket looks big on Toni; since there is a size
33", I might choose to make that size for her instead. However, if she
wanted the slightly looser fit of the 34.5" size, I would shorten the
hemline and the sleeves. I would also start the waist decreases later,
and place the waist higher, to match Toni's long-waisted self. Fewer
neckline decreases would help pull the wide scoop neck of the larger
size in a bit as well.

Debbie
Her bust: 34.5"
1" negative ease
Notice that overall, this jacket fits Debbie fairly
closely to the fit shown in the magazine. The one thing I would do for
Debbie is shorten the hemline by about 2". I would also shorten the
sleeves, but not by as much--maybe 0.5" or so, just to bring them up a
teeny bit. The neckline here fits Debbie really well.

Kerry
Her bust: 37.75"
3.25" negative ease
This jacket is too small on Kerry. There is a 37.5" size which would more closely match her size.

Sarah
Her bust: 35.5"
1" negative ease
This is kind
of a stylish look on Sarah, but it's not the way Theresa intended the
jacket to be worn! Just goes to show you that there are always lots of
possibilities, depending on ease and fit. If Sarah wished to wear the
jacket closed, as Theresa intended, then she would need the next size
up.

Doesn't Bertha look like Audrey Hepburn? Sooo adorable.
