Double Breasted Bridal Tailcoat with Train

This elegant bridal sewing pattern creates a captivating double-breasted tailcoat gown, featuring a structured bodice, sophisticated asymmetric collar, and a dramatic sweeping train.

When To Wear

This exquisite garment is perfectly suited for momentous and grand occasions, making it an exceptional choice for:

  • Wedding Ceremonies: An unforgettable and unique bridal gown for a truly distinctive entrance.
  • Formal Galas & Receptions: a show-stopping ensemble for high-fashion events and sophisticated celebrations.
  • Bridal Showcases & Editorials: Ideal for haute couture fashion spreads or a dramatic statement piece.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: a tailored, fitted bodice resembling a formal tailcoat, transitioning into a full, floor-length skirt with a dramatic train.

Closure: a sophisticated double-breasted front closure secured with two prominent buttons.

Sleeves: Elegant three-quarter length sleeves finished with voluminous gathered cuffs, each adorned with a matching decorative rose detail.

Waist: a defined, fitted waistline where the structured bodice meets the flowing skirt, creating a flattering and elongated silhouette.

Back: The tailored back features a decorative tab at the waist, cinching the silhouette before the skirt flares out into a graceful, extended train.

Hem: Floor-length skirt that extends into a magnificent, sweeping train, adding a touch of grandeur and drama.

Level Of Difficulty

Advanced. Requires confident tailoring skills, experience with multi-layer construction, working with delicate fabrics, precise finishing techniques for decorative elements, and structured garment assembly.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose elegant fabrics that hold shape and drape beautifully for a luxurious finish:

  • Light satin
  • Taffeta
  • Dense organza (for stiffness and interlining the top layer)

Additional Supplies

  • Fusible interfacing
  • Thin shoulder pads
  • Sleeve heads
  • Lining fabric (for sleeves)
  • 2 buttons

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 140 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

  • From main and interlining fabric (satin is recommended for both main and lining):
    • Back upper – 2 pieces
    • Back side – 4 pieces
    • Front upper – 4 pieces
    • Front side – 4 pieces
    • Back lower – 4 pieces
    • Collar – 2 pieces
    • Cuffs – 2 pieces
    • Back tab – 2 pieces
    • Sleeves and sleeve facings – 2 pieces each (cut without organza interlining)
  • From lining fabric:
    • Sleeve lining
  • From fusible interfacing:
    • Back tab
    • Sleeve facings
    • Collars
    • Cuffs

Sewing Instructions

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

  1. The upper layer of the tailcoat is duplicated with the base (dense organza) and stitched together along all edges, then faced with lining from the main fabric.
  2. Collars are asymmetrically sewn into the neckline up to the notches and have a soft shape. The end of the right collar is rolled into a rose and secured by hand.
  3. The cuff is attached to the sleeve up to the marks (the inner seam of the sleeve should already be stitched). The ends of the cuff are also rolled into a rose and secured with hand stitches.
  4. It is recommended to lay a lengthwise bias tape along the front shaped edge of the tailcoat skirt, slightly easing the fabric along the seam.
