Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is my second attempt at a trench coat. The first time, I hadn’t realised that outerware needs more ease! It is much too small! This one is not. It’s A-line, and fairly wide. It fits over a blazer, and it is comfortable for cycling (without the blazer, ofcourse!). Sewing it mas very long and painful: that coated fabric doesn’t react very well to ironning, and does not let the interfacing stick to it for very long! But it appears to be at least water resistent! I’m mostly happy with the pattern, and I can’t wait for the return of appropriate weather!
Material Notes
Coated cotton-nylon mix for the upper part and apple green rayonne lining from Montreal; beautiful, but expensive pearl and olive green buttons from Senci in Mannheim

Wonderful work, I am going to look to this when I get the courage to start up on my trench again!

Thank you very much for the nice comments. I did make my own pattern starting with my sketch, but used a raincoat I already own, as a basis for the body (for the width, and the shape of the arm holes). The rest, I drafted.
