Double-Faced Shawl-Collar Coat

When To Wear

In spring and early autumn as a light top layer over knitwear, shirts or dresses.
With straight trousers or jeans for everyday wear.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Loose, straight fit with a dropped shoulder line.

Length: Mid-thigh length; the front hem curves down into a longer rounded point, the back hem is gently curved.

Collar: Wide shawl collar cut in one with the fronts, joined by a seam at the centre back and set into the back neckline.

Sleeves: Three-quarter sleeves attached to the dropped shoulder, finished with a folded cuff band.

Closure: Off-centre front with two buttons; each buttonhole is backed with a 3 x 4 cm patch of fabric.

Front: Darts on the fronts.

Pockets: Two rounded patch pockets on the lower fronts, with the opening edge turned 1.5 cm and topstitched.

Back: Centre back seam, sewn on the outside, pressed to one side and topstitched.

Finishing: Sleeve and side seams are sewn on the outside and topstitched. The hem, front edges and collar edge have no allowance and stay raw, so the fabric must not fray.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Few pieces and no lining or facings, but the exposed seams must be stitched and topstitched evenly, the shawl collar is set into the back neckline, and the buttonholes are worked in double-faced cloth.

Fabric Recommendations

Soft, thin, non-fraying double-faced coating from natural or blended fibres.

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, front edge allowances, collar edge allowance - 0 cm. Pocket opening allowance – 1.5 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 – 2 pieces
- Front – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Pocket – 2 pieces
- Cuff – 2 pieces
