When I began with the design process this is the coat I fell in love with and decided to make for my senior collection. I want the feel of a swing coat without the hassle of the excess fabric (especially for living in Texas where it does not get too cold to wear a swing coat frequently). After watching "White Christmas" for this first time December 2010 I became inspired by the big coat Betty wore.
She seemed very embraced with this coat. I suppose the way a snuggie makes us feel today, except this one can be worn in public. (PLEASE DON"T GO OUT IN PUBLIC WITH A SNUGGIE! Ofcourse, unless you're Kristen and very sick). This coat kind of describes the feeling. Tell me, do you have a garment that makes you feel all "warm and fuzzy"?
This is the muslin (sample of real coat) for my coat thus far. It has lantern raglan sleeves with a yoke going all around the body. It also has an inverted pleat in the back.
As the design sketch goes to fabric, the design itself changes because what we imagine may not always actually look good in "real life" so stay tuned for the updated design in fashion fabric next week!
Stay fabulous my friends!- liz
