Finished coat for the 2013 Make it with Wool Competition!
This is a 1929 deco coat design originally by a German pattern company.
It has attractive couture details for today’s wear in the pin tucks, godets and (faux) fur-trimmed cuffs and scarf.
I lined the coat in silk/rayon brocade to mirror the pin tucks and godets that are on the outside of the coat so it fits wonderfully.
The coat closes with a single button in a bound buttonhole and the integrated scarf swings round to close the top of the coat. In this 70 wool blend, 30% nylon melton, it is really soft and cozy!
I have construction details starting with this post:
