GRACE COAT – PDF SEWING PATTERN

#BlpGrace

Grace is a classic mid-calf, double-breasted coat with a relaxed, straight silhouette. Its main feature is the dolman sleeve with the underarm gusset panel, and the topstitching at the collar, shoulders, sleeve hems, centre back seam and belt helps to accentuate the seams. The topstitching can be done either by hand or machine.

This coat has inserted raglan shoulder pads to create a beautiful round shoulder line.

Grace has a bal collar with collar stand, a single button closure at the lapel edge, front welt pockets at the sides and for closure at the waist, two poppers for a clean polished look. Grace can be worn with or without a belt, which, when not worn, can be left hanging on a belt loop inside the coat.

There's a vent on the centre back for ease of walking. This coat is fully lined with a set-in sleeve lining.

Grace is a timeless coat to keep for life, and I hope you will enjoy sewing it.
