1950's faux fur jacket

I have just finished a cropped jacket from Vintage Vogue, V2934, a re-print from 1950. I made it in faux fur and the pattern was very easy to make. It was also much easier to sew in faux fur than I had anticipated. However, I don't think the cut was the most flattering on me...
