Tech. Description

Shawl Collar Wrap Coat with Tie Belt

When To Wear

Spring and early autumn over a dress or a jumper and trousers.
As a light coat over office wear.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, wrapped and belted at the waist; front darts pressed downwards.

Length: Above the knee.

Collar: Shawl collar cut in one with the fronts, joined at the centre back and set into the back neckline; the facings repeat the same construction. Front edges and collar topstitched 0.5–0.7 cm from the edge.

Front: Wrap front without fastenings, faced to the hem.

Sleeves: Long set-in sleeves, sewn up together with the side seams.

Pockets: Slit pockets on the fronts: the opening is stitched round, cut and turned, with two self-fabric pocket bags fixed to the inside of the front by hand.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, with a back neck facing.

Finishing: Belt stitched, turned and topstitched 0.5–0.7 cm from the edge; 3 cm hems on the body and sleeves.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Few pieces and simple set-in sleeves; the cut-on shawl collar and the slit pockets need careful marking.

Fabric Recommendations

Soft, thin, non-fraying coating of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

None besides fabric and thread: facings, pocket bags and belt are cut from the main fabric

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, the patterns are without seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance for the garment bottom and sleeve bottom – 3.0 cm. 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Front facing – 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece
- Pocket bag – 4 pieces
- Belt – 1 piece
