Coat

[frualeydis]

This is how the coat looks, without buttons and on a too large and wrongly shaped dress dummy.

I'm digging it! And I love that the lining is of (what looks like) a lavender blue fabric, very cool detail.

Very nice. Coat envy, i haz. It needs loads of gold trim though, of course.

There probably won't be any gold trim, since it's made after a preserved riding habit which doesn't have any trim and I plan to make the whole habit later. I'm thinking that a riding habit, whith it's masculine cut and look would be something that would suit a female pirate. Also, it's from 1730-50 and not 17th century which cuts down some on the trim, unless you go for the military look. I think the tricorne will have some gold braid though.

But it's piratey stuff! Piratey stuff must have lots of bling! Of course, you could still save face if you wear a gold lamé sash or something.

I'd love a coat like that to wear on stage. Or to wear to work or to the pub. Hell, I'd wear a coat like that anywhere.
It looks lovely Eva.

Looking froward to seeign that - I'm impressed by anyone doing men's tailored garments, they're so complicated.
