VintageModern Design Challenge Trench Topper

Description
It was so hard to chose just one pattern, but eventually I chose the Indygo Junction Trench Topper. I settled on view 1 without the belt. I used the sleeves from view 2. The fabric is a gorgeous green/ blue herringbone wool. I lined it with black raw silk. The buttons are faceted vintage glass buttons. They are my favourite part of the coat.
Now I just need the weather to come in cooler so I can wear it!
Material Notes
Green/ blue herringbone wool. Raw silk lining.
