FITTING NOTES:
This pattern has been drafted for a height of 5’7 and will finish just under the knee. Personally I like to add 10-20cm of length to the front and back pattern pieces for the coat to finish further below the knee/at the calves, but due to size constraints of A0 size paper I have left the pattern pieces to fit within.
Views A and B have been drafted for a A/B cup size.
Views C and D have been drafted for a C/D cup size.
There has been 4-5 inches of ease factored in. For a sleeker fit, you may prefer to go down a size.
It’s recommended to make a toile first in an inexpensive fabric to work out any fitting alterations you may need, before cutting into your chosen fabric.
This digital pattern comes with an illustrated set of instructions, a printing and assembling guide and two options for printing – a PDF file for printing at home, designed to fit both A4 and Letter sized paper (up to 57 pages).
