One of the styles I love to make more and more these years are the 1940s outfits. They are so classy and elegant. Perfect for many occasions.

Not only do I love the fashions, I also love the make do and mend attitude of the era. An important resolution for the new year is to do more with the large amount of fabrics I already have in stock. This means that there will be more ready to ship items available in the web shop in the coming year.

This coat is based on an historical pattern from the 40s. It features a shawl collar, an A-line skirt and belt. It is made out of a wool mix and closes with snap buttons to give it that smooth look at the front.

Since the fabric had a check pattern I made sure to match the pattern down the centre back and centre front. Also I made sure that both sleeves have the same place where the check pattern starts at the top.

The coat has light shoulder padding and a pleated puff sleeve.

Now I have not added this coat to the web shop, since I made it for me. However, of course I can make you a similar coat. We can find your own unique fabric and create a 1940s dream just for you.
