This was an easy and versitile coat to make, I made it out of gold drapery taffeta that has jaquard lines throughout the fabric. I found the most beautiful rhinestone buttons and it just so happened I had the rhinestone brooch that matched the buttons perfectly. I love the pleated loose yoke in the back and the belted waist. The lining is bright yellow that contrasts with the gold fabric, but I like the contrast.

Very nice job. I like your fabric/button choices.
I'm inspired to try making a coat!
This is beautiful, I think I might try it or something close to it.
Beautiful trench coat! I'll be the second one to try making a coat! My daughter will just love it! Glad you posted this.
