Description:

You are bidding on a lovingly created digital vintage Teddy Boy Drape Coat sewing pattern styled from media. 

This Drape Coat pattern is modelled on media taken, and also what is reported to be an iconic style of the times as reports Anne Tyrell, who states she has done much research on the actual style. This style is as follows: 

The coat is traditional in that it has the side panel incorporated into the front panel, and the only seams are at the back panel. Sleeves are two piece with a pointed cuff.  The standard roll collar breaks at the waist where the coat fastens with a single button.  I have enclosed different kinds of pockets: straight, curved, slanted and with pointed or curved corners.

I have enclosed a simplified diagram to show the pattern pieces for informational purposes only.  

Paper pattern comes neatly folded in a pattern envelope. Pieces Include:

• Jacket Back
• Jacket Front
• Forepart Lining
• Front Facing
• Straight Breast Pocket
• Curved Breast Pocket
• Slanted Hip Pocket
• Straight Hip Pocket
• Full Hip Pocket With Curved Corners
• Sleeve Front
• Sleeve Back
• Sleeve Front Cuff
• Sleeve Back Cuff

Size:  Men's sizes are as shown in the options above and are chest sizes in INCHES.

Garment Measurements:  Back Nape to Length is approximately 100 cm but this can easily be shortened or lengthened depending on personal preferences.  Cuff width is approximately 35 cm depending on the size ordered, this of course can easily be altered for personal preferences.

Essential information:

The user will need to determine which tailoring techniques they will adopt or not.  A 1cm seam allowance IS included as well as a 4cm hem. Alternative pockets are included. Sewer will need to create own internal pocket pouches as these are not included (square pieces of fabric). Instructions are NOT included: information about construction, notions, fabric quantities and lay out etc. This is a flat pattern and it is recommended that the sewer creates an inexpensive toile first - this can be made for around £3 using cotton curtain lining.  Pattern and envelope are supplied. Sizes 54-56-58-60 are mathematically incremented and may require more alteration of the pattern to fit the personal shape: this is because British Standards are not available for the upper sizes. 

About Daisy's Pattern Parlour:

My digitised patterns come in many guises: 

• Some are actual authentic vintage patterns created from fashion plates.
• Some are vintage mass produced patterns, such as Vogue, Simplicity etc.
• Some are iconic patterns from designs that were perhaps never made into patterns and are made by making modifications to vintage patterns using skill and expertise.
• Some celebrity or modern patterns are made by a method called flat pattern drafting.  To learn more about this see the links below.
• Only in some exceptions I will make a vintage pattern by the flat pattern method.

I only use the best paper which is sold as fit-for-purpose in the fashion industry, and not paper that is meant for other purposes: which rips, tears and does not move with your fabric and characteristic of printed PDF patterns and A4 paper!

As my patterns are vintage, they are of vintage sizing.  However, sigh not! I can make any pattern in modern sizes as well as custom sizes small or large. Just send me a message and I shall create a listing especially for you.

Flat patterns are designed as such that a toile be made, this is a step towards the finished garment and this applies to the modern patterns I make, and with exception some others.  The vintage patterns are, like modern times, meant to be made straight from fabric - however, I would recommend that sewers with less experience make a toile first.  Sewers with more experience could fit the paper pattern to themselves and make any necessary alterations.  However, I would recommend making a toile first of all the patterns as they are vintage and may need modern modifications: such as bullet bust, wide shoulders, wide skirts to facilitate walking, and body proportions.

FAQs:

Q: Do I ship to the USA? 

A: Yes, I am a member of the Global Shipping Programme.

Q: Can you provide a picture of the finished garment from one of your own patterns?

A: Flat pattern drafting is one of the steps in creating a finished garment.  It is followed by making a toile to test and perfect the garment before cutting from the final fabric, often this is not necessary depending on the skill of the sewer and their ability to fit the paper pattern and make assessments.  I am afraid I cannot make a finished garment for every one of my patterns as this would considerably increase my production times and costs: often it takes two days to create and digitise my multi sized patterns, this time would be increased significantly if I was to then create a toile, find and order the fabric and notions, create a finished garment, find a model, photograph, and then advertise.

Q: Can you provide a picture of the finished garment from a pattern from a manufacturer such as Vogue or Simplicity?

A: No, as I do not feel it is necessary.

Q: Are seam allowances, notchings and grain lines on the patterns?

A: Most of my older fashion plate patterns do not have seam allowances included.  Seam allowances are not included in flat pattern drafting.  With some of the other older patterns I transfer the notches when digitising, but I do not add them to the flat patterns.  Some older patterns have grain lines on, some do not. I do include grain lines on the flat patterns.
