FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DXF AAMA PATTERN 4497

This hooded coat pattern is best suited for medium to heavyweight fabrics like wool, cashmere blends, or structured suiting fabrics to achieve the ideal shape and warmth. Also, use artificial mink fur.

Main Fabric Recommendations

To achieve the coat’s structured silhouette, warmth, and durability, the following fabrics are ideal:

Wool:
- Medium to heavyweight wool (e.g., melton, boiled wool, or tweed) is perfect for its natural warmth, breathability, and ability to hold the flare and shape of the skirt.
- Wool blends with polyester or cashmere add softness and durability while maintaining structure.
Cashmere Blends:
- Cashmere wool blends are luxurious, soft, and warm, ideal for a polished and sophisticated look.
- These fabrics drape beautifully and elevate the overall aesthetic of the coat.
Thick Suiting Fabrics:
- Fabrics such as gabardine or heavy twill offer a smooth, tailored finish.
- They are great for achieving crisp seams and clean lines, especially around the empire waist and princess seams.
Velvet or Corduroy (Optional for Special Occasions):
- Adds texture and depth, creating a unique, statement-making coat while still being warm.

5. Artificial mink fur.

Lining Recommendations

The lining not only adds comfort and ease of wear but also enhances the coat’s durability and professionalism. Consider the following options:

Silk Satin or Polyester Satin:
- Smooth and lightweight, satin linings help the coat glide over other clothing. They’re ideal for a luxurious finish.
Bemberg Rayon or Cupro:
- High-quality and breathable, these linings are perfect for creating a high-end look while ensuring comfort during extended wear.
Quilted or Thinsulate Linings (For Winter Coats):
- These provide added insulation for colder climates without compromising on the coat’s fit and silhouette.
Printed Lining Fabrics (Optional):
- Using a patterned or contrasting color lining can add a pop of personality to the interior.

By carefully choosing the main fabric, lining, and fusing materials, you can ensure the coat achieves the perfect balance of elegance, structure, and comfort while being suitable for a variety of occasions and seasons.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out according to the fabric width (the fabric width can range from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much fabric you will need (don’t forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

When joining the pieces, pay attention to the notches — they must align!

SEAM ALLOWANCES

No seam allowances are included in this fur coat pattern by default. If the $1 option to add them is selected, all seam allowances will be 1 cm, except for the hem of the coat (3 cm) and hem of the sleeve (3 cm).

Please note that if the pattern pieces that you receive have a single contour, this means they have no seam allowances. However, if you see a double contour, this means the seam allowances are included.

ADDITIONAL SUPPLIES

Lining: see above recommendations for type of lining.

Fusible Interfacing:

Fusible interfacing is crucial for reinforcing key areas of the coat, such as center front, front facing, back neck facing, hem of sleeve. Choose the right type according to the chosen main fabric and desired shape, for example:

Medium-weight fusible interfacing is recommended if you wish for structure and support.
Heavyweight fusible interfacing is for sharp, tailored appearance.
Knitted or stretch fusible interfacing is used for fabrics with some stretch to maintain flexibility without stiffness.
Sew-In interfacing is used for delicate or luxury fabrics like cashmere to avoid bubbling or distortion caused by fusible types.

Closure: 3 buttons
