The collar on this coat has a striking silhouette when worn folded up behind the neck, and a classic look when it lays back over the shoulders. The original sketches show the design worn as a hip length swing-back coat with lots of flare (red). Another two examples show the coat worn at mid-calf length, and with two different versions for wearing the belt. The original description emphasises that the coat should be worn with a slim skirt to enhance the contrasting design lines.

Available in one original size, for these body measurements:
Bust 96 cm (37.8”)
Waist 78 cm (31”)
Hip 102 cm (40.2”)

This listing is for a PDF digital pattern that you print yourself.

Our patterns are traced accurately, line-by-line and point-by-point, from our vintage German pattern books collection. Although this original 1951 pattern was published without instructions, I have provided construction notes to assist you. I consider this vintage pattern to require an experienced garment maker (sewist) to complete. Prior experience of constructing coats is essential. I have also included links to our online reference library of old sewing books to help you.

Pattern includes:
- 1.5 cm (5/8”) seam allowance.
- Original notations on the pattern pieces are in German and English.
- Guide with original information and written* instructions in English and German.
- Additional facings and front lining pieces (not in the original) have been flat-drafted.
- Printing formats: A0, A4 and US-letter paper.

* The written instructions are without diagrams.

All inquires are most welcome.
If you would like to view the guide document that comes with the pattern, to assess if this project will suit your skill level, please ask and I will provide that for you.
