Decorative Panel Coat

When To Wear

In spring and autumn over dresses and fitted skirts: the collar covers the shoulders and frames the neckline.
For theatre, dinners and events where a light, dressy coat is needed instead of a heavy winter one.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Semi-fitted, shaped by centre and side panels on both front and back.

Length: Around the knee, with the front edge curving down into a rounded hem.

Collar: Built from three upper collar pieces (two of them symmetrical) and one under collar. The under collar is attached to the right front along its front edge; the collar is then set into the neckline of the back and fronts, and the yoke is joined to the collar seam.

Sleeves: Long set-in sleeves with the cap eased into the armhole, finished with satin cuffs.

Front: Asymmetric: the left front is a crepe centre piece with a front insert and a side panel; the right centre front is cut from satin.

Closure: One button with a bound buttonhole.

Back: Centre back seam, curved side panels and a yoke at the top.

Lining: Satin lining cut to the same pieces as the coat. All crepe pieces are interfaced with fusible interfacing.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. A multi-piece asymmetric collar set between the fronts and the yoke, a bound buttonhole, eased set-in sleeves and a full lining.

Fabric Recommendations

Crepe for the coat; satin in the same colour as the crepe for the lining, yokes, cuffs and right centre front.

Additional Supplies

Satin for the lining
Fusible interfacing

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams – 1cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). According to the designer's intention, the lining is made of satin and exactly repeats the contour of the main fabric patterns. All main fabric pieces are interfaced with fusible interfacing.

From crepe:
- Center back piece - 2 pieces
- Side back piece - 2 pieces
- Center front piece left - 1 piece
- Side front piece - 2 pieces
- Front insert - 1 piece
- Upper collar – 3 pieces (2 of which are symmetrical)
- Under collar – 1 piece

- Front yoke - 2 pieces
- Cuff – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Stitch the back and front yokes of the main fabric and lining pieces. Press seams open. Finish the yoke with the lining.
Stitch the center and side back pieces, as well as the center seam. Press seams towards the center.
Stitch the right and left front pieces. Stitch the collar pieces along the center edge: right and left upper collar, upper and under collar. Attach the under collar to the right front piece along the front vertical edge. Finish the under collar with the upper collar, turn pieces right side out and press. Attach the collar to the back and front. Attach the yoke to the collar attachment seam.
Stitch the sleeve pieces. Set sleeves into armholes, easing the cap.
Stitch the lining pieces. Create a bound buttonhole. Finish the coat with the lining.
