And I love how the bustle jacket works - the ribbon pull system creates such a nice drape, but being able to flatten it out for pressing is very practical. How does the jacket stay snug to the body at the front opening? Are there hook and eyes?Kurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02285193199491848377noreply@blogger.com
