Inspiration:
For this coat, I was looking for examples of different designers creating relaxed, oversized designs while maintaining an elegant look.Claire McCardell’s black cotton coat from 1957 and Azzedine Alaïa’s oversized leather coat from 1985 FW. inspired by
pattern:
I used a basic coat foundation and adjusted the pattern to achieve the desired look for this coat. I decided to add a lot of volume and flare to the body of the foundation block. To achieve oversized shoulders, the arm and body patterns were modified and the armholes were exaggerated. For the neckline, I used a shawl neck pattern with extended edges.
A total of 5 patterns: 2 backs, 2 fronts, 2 arms, 2 pockets, and 1 belt.
Once you are confident with your pattern, cut out the body fabric and continue the sewing process.
sewing:
Made from 100% cashmere fabric originally designed for Dries Van Noten and sold as a deadstock designer fabric. I’m a fan of Dries Van Noten’s designs, so having the opportunity to use the original fabrics made this project special.
After cutting, all the parts are sewn together with straight stitches using a sewing machine. Since it has no lining, all seams are hand-sewn for a neat look.
Since there is no lining for the shoulder pads, I decided to custom make them. The filling uses 100% bio-cotton filling. The padding was layered and sewn between two pieces of white cotton cloth, then the square he cut into two triangles to create shoulders with sharp edges. Covered with original fabric. Custom shoulder padding gave the coat a classy look.
Finally, I folded all the edges with a press and hand-stitched them in place.
