To pair this with last week’s
skirt for a fall suit; a simple bolero jacket, lined to the edge, with or without collar. Instructions are
here.
Note: 1950's designs were not cut with a lot of ease, and this jacket may feel tight under the arms to a modern wearer. Try making a muslin, and if it's uncomfortable, redraw the pattern with a deeper armscye, or if you're a more experienced seamstress insert gussets.

OOOH, trim with ball fringe!
I love this pattern and the instructions, being a flat patterner, myself. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for posting this. Boleros are so versatile. Depending on the fabric one uses they can be really dressy or really casual.
