Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made another coat from a super altered McCall 5525 :) this light weight coat is inspired by a Modcloth coat, but more slimmed down and soft-edged.
Details i love:
I made mine more fitted around the waist.
I also changed the collar to a oversized hoodie
The pleat in the back is a lot higher than my inspiration, allowing a more fitted waist
the pocket is a very roomy ? pocket (what is the name of this kind of pockets?)
the sleeves are pleated in at the edge to mimic the back
The collar is hard to describe — they are a little fumply but i am just so proud of myself for figuring it out!
the coat is also balooned around the butt
there’s a tag area in the back of the neck!
fully lined
fabric covered button closure
I loved my coat, this is probably one of my favorite coat ever!

What a great coat!!! I also like the top UNDER the coat! I also see a dress in there…if you look at the back of the coat, remove the hood and the ?yoke? (the piece inside the v-neck…uh, back) GREAT JOB !!!!

I’d bet a balooned, white coat would never suit a petite girl… but I’d be totally wrong! Great work! Too bad I’ll never rise to an (super-advanced) intermediate level as you, to be able to sew such wonderful stuff! Sigh…

Great and very unique coat! It suits you so well, and the white wool is perfect for it!

This is so nice, I was only hoping you’d write that there was a pattern for it:-) I love all the unique details and it looks really nice in white. Well done!
