1940's copycat coat

original coat

my version




It's almost July and I can't believe that I'm still wearing this coat…I made my black version last autumn based on a late 30's/early40's coat I found in the collection of the costume company I frequently do work for.
The original doesn't look so great in the picture but when I tried it on I just knew I had to make one for myself.
So over a couple of months I did. I've written more on how I went about doing that on my blog
