1812 French Officer's Pelisse
comments (1) February 19th, 2009 in sewing, fabric, reader's closetMy client requested many changes to this after this picture was taken. The final result was not worth taking pictures of.
It is based on an original pattern and is accurate for the period. The shell is melton wool and the lining is wool serge. The lacing is machine and hand stitched in place.
Pattern or design used: My own design

My goodness, your client must have been out of their minds.This is a remarkable jacket. I'd own it just to have it to look at.
Next time don't allow a client to mutilate such fine creations. Pure art.Bravo!
