Lace-Hem Slim Blazer

A fitted blazer with a curved tulip hem and a dramatic lace ruffle spilling out below it, plus matching sheer lace flaring from the cuffs. Worn belted, the peak lapel and structured shoulder keep it sharp even with the lace softening the hemline and wrists — the contrast between the tailored body and the soft lace trim is the whole point of the design. It works equally well belted alone over tights as an evening piece, or open over trousers as a statement jacket for the office. The V-neck front and single-breasted closure keep the silhouette lean despite the volume at the hem.

A structured, fitted base fabric through the body and shoulders gives way to a soft, sheer lace ruffle at the hem and cuffs — the contrast is the point, so treat the two zones differently. Hand wash cold, keeping the lace flat and unwrung, and hang to dry away from direct heat. Avoid wringing or twisting the lace sections in particular, since the open floral weave can distort or snag if it's handled roughly while wet, and store the blazer on a padded hanger so the ruffle doesn't crease.

The lace hem and cuffs are added as trim panels rather than requiring extra yardage of the main fabric, so the structured blazer body stays economical to cut. Using a separate lightweight lace for the ruffle sections also means less of the heavier structured fabric goes into the piece overall than if the whole hem were built from the main cloth.
