McCall's 2465 is a pattern that includes a pair of pants and coat dress.
The fabric that I chose was a deep burgandy overlay with black faux topstitch design throughout. I recall the fabric as one that frayed very easily but it turned out quite nicely. Thank goodness for a serger!
The coat dress is lined. I used a medium weight black lining. The lining is actually heavier than the fabric that I chose for the coat dress and I'm happy with the result.
Oooh, I remember the NY collection, it was so classy, of course, when I first saw it I was so young I thought hemming was classy. I need to track down all of them! I love your coat-it looks perfect for sauntering into a party......
ReplyDeleteThanks. I've never worn it to a party, it's the prairies. But it is one of my go-to piece for going to the opera or theatre. I miss NY collection, they came out with some great patterns.
