Silk Velvet Jacket

I was browsing around on Wists and saw this:

a 1930s Fortuny stenciled silk velvet short jacket. And I thought "That looks like something a pregnant woman could wear!"
So I searched Ebay for silk velvet and found 3 yards of a blue and pale gold print velvet for $15. Far more reasonable than the $12,000 that the Fortuny is going for.

The construction is simplicity itself, and I may, if I'm lucky, have it done in time for Christmas Day dinner!
