Description

Semi fitted, double breasted, lined trench coat – I cut a size 14. This coat is based on McCall’s M5525 View E – I added buckles to the belt and carriers instead of using buttons for them. The pattern was pretty straightforward to follow but I had a nightmare with the topstitching!

Material Notes

Waterproof fabric which is shiny on one side and matt on the other. It has a lovely silky feel. I used the matt side. No idea what the fibre composition is I'm afraid, except that it was from Prada!

    Oooh I have this pattern!! But I have not made it yet. A little intimidated. But it’s really nice to see it made up here! I really like your version, though I know for mine I would need to add some sort of an interlining for warmth.

    Awesome job. I like to use a walking foot on thick topstitching.. yours looks great though!
