This is a very heavy and warm wool coat with a asymmetrical double-breasted front, princess seaming, and velvet collar and buttons. It is fully lined and I used bright teal, for a surprise. I added a pic of it on the form halfway done because it really shows the seaming better ;).
Heavy wool twill, Poly velvet,Thermal interlining, Crepe back satin lining
I drafted this pattern using a basic block created over the Joseph-Armstrong Pattern making text books, then draped the collar on the form.

That’s funny, I’m working on a similar style coat. Also whit a asymetrical front like yours. I like your coat, hope mine will come out half as nice… Great job.

This is super cute and feminine, I especially love the detail of having the closure be slightly asymmetrical.
