This one-size pattern is a single pattern piece with two seams and a standing collar. It is not intuitively assembled but magically yields a fitted bolero that accommodates a variety of proportional figure differences and sizes. The pattern is already expanded so that it may be pleated using a Japanese method similar to shibori work on a pole with fishing line and boiling water. See a video from Anne Selby here using a pole, whatever works.
It requires 1.75 yards of 58"-60" 100% polyester fabric for permanent pleating. It is quickly finished with serged narrow rolled edges and has no closures. Hems can fall on a decorative selvedge or they may also be separately finished.
