Collarless Seamed Coat

When To Wear

As a light outer layer in spring and autumn, over knit tops, shirts and dresses.
With slim trousers or a narrow skirt, which show off the angled front hem.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight upper body joined to a slightly flared lower part at a horizontal waist seam, front and back.

Length: Below the hip; the front is longer than the back.

Neckline: Round, collarless, with an unhemmed edge.

Sleeves: Long set-in sleeves in two parts (front and back) with a lapped, topstitched seam and an elbow seam. Alternative version: one-piece sleeves in knit fabric with a 3 cm hem stitched with an elastic stitch.

Closure: Overlapping front edges with three snap fasteners.

Pockets: Two decorative flaps with a pointed lower edge, caught into the waist seam on the lower front.

Back: Centre back seam and waist seam, both lapped and topstitched; straight, shorter hem.

Finishing: Lapped seams topstitched from the right side; the side seam of the lower part is shifted towards the front. Front edges, neckline and hem are overlocked in one continuous pass with no hem allowance.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Lapped seams matched along marked stitching lines, a horizontal waist seam joining the upper and lower parts, and a two-part sleeve with a lapped seam.

Fabric Recommendations

Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance for coat bottom and fabric sleeve – 0 cm; bottom allowance for knit sleeve – 3 cm; outer allowances for neckline and front edge – 0 cm; bottom allowance for flap – 0 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical details).
