Vogue Sewing Pattern 2126: Jacket, Blouse, and Skirt Build a polished 1980s power-dressing wardrobe with Vogue 2126 from The Forgotten Woman collection. This 1988 pattern captures the era’s confident executive style with strong shoulders, a long double-breasted jacket, feminine blouse, and flared skirt.
The jacket has slightly extended shoulders, shoulder pads, pockets, long sleeves, and a double-breasted front. The coordinating loose-fitting blouse features a collar, shoulder tucks, long sleeves, and back button closure. The fitted skirt flares below the mid-knee for a softer counterpoint to the structured jacket.
The silhouette is particularly well suited to the current revival of 80s power dressing, corporate chic, vintage workwear, and statement tailoring. Wear the pieces together for a complete retro career look or reinterpret them individually for a modern wardrobe.
