Steampunk Coat

Photo: photo by Sarah Plagens

This is a full length, double breasted coat. Altering a Simplicity 2333 pattern, I designed and sewed this for a Steampunk themed masquerade ball that I attended on Oct 1 in Dallas, TX. I sewed and embelished the entire coat, hat band, cravat, and lace cuffs. The top hat and glasses were purchased accessories.

Pattern or design used: My Own Design - Siimpliciy 2333
