Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Swingy double-breasted coat. I didn’t make any changes to the pattern except I hand-sewed the lining in and made bound butttonholes instead of machine-made ones. I’m glad it is starting to cool off so my sister can enjoy her birthday present!

for me this is something like a reminiscence to christian dior’s new look, i like the cape, congratulations! since i have seen a photo of a dior-cape looking like this one, i have thought about sewing one, maybe i start doing so because of yours!
