Double-Faced Shawl-Collar Coat

Double-Faced Shawl-Collar Coat

Introducing a contemporary women's coat pattern in soft double-face fabric, featuring a relaxed, oversized silhouette, exposed seams, and a distinctive asymmetrical front hem.

When To Wear

This versatile coat offers a stylish and comfortable layering option, perfect for:

• Casual Chic Outings: The relaxed fit and raw-edge, double-face construction make it ideal for everyday wear with a fashion-forward edge.
• Transitional Weather: Its lightweight double-face fabric and three-quarter sleeves make it suitable for spring or autumn layering.
• Statement Layering: a vibrant outer layer over simple tops and dresses to add a pop of color and modern flair.

Key Design Features

Fabric: Designed for soft, thin, non-fraying double-face (reversible) coating fabrics, which make the raw-edge finish and exposed seams possible.

Silhouette: An oversized, relaxed-fit coat with a dropped shoulder line, offering a modern, comfortable shape.

Collar & Lapel: Features a wide, rounded shawl collar cut in one with the fronts and joined at the center back, creating a soft, elegant neckline.

Closure: a distinctive off-center, single-breasted button closure secured with two buttons.

Sleeves: Wide, three-quarter length sleeves with a dropped shoulder, finished with an upturned cuff band.

Pockets: Two prominent, rounded patch pockets are strategically placed on the lower front panels.

Edges & Seams: The defining detail of the design. The front edges, collar, and hem are left as clean raw cut edges with no facing, binding, or turned hem, taking advantage of the non-fraying double-face fabric. Selected seams are sewn with the allowances to the outside, pressed to one side and topstitched down for a deliberately exposed finish.

Back: a clean back with an exposed, topstitched center back seam, maintaining the coat's relaxed drape.

Hem: a unique asymmetrical front hem, featuring a longer, rounded point on one side and a shorter, curved finish on the other. The back hem is straight and slightly longer than the coat's shortest front point.

Length: Hip-length overall, with the asymmetrical front extending slightly longer.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires familiarity with shawl-collar construction, setting patch pockets, buttonhole application, working with double-face fabric, and the specific raw-edge and exposed seam finishes.
