Springtime in Seattle can be cold and gray. This bright teal duster both brightens and warms. The weight of the fabrics work well together. The print is an upholstery-weight brocade and the solid is a faux-croc poly. It is lined with a cross-woven teal/gold taffeta. The antique buttons were the perfect addition.

I started with Butterick 6103 and modified the sleeves to have the deep cuff. I think it balanced better than a full sleeve of the bright teal (plus it was a more efficient use of fabric!).
