J. Jill-like spring coat
mausfrau Intermediate OK USA Member since 4/3/05 Posts: 8	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/9/10 2:01 PM I'm looking for a basic coat pattern that looks like this: http://bit.ly/cgqp9Q I'm not crazy about the back detail, so I'm not looking for that, but I'd like to find a coat pattern in this style. Most of them I've seen are either really fitted with princess seams or boxier, instead of that nice classic A-line. Has anybody seen anything like this? I'm thinking a heavy solid cotton or linen lined with a cute spring print would be lots of fun, but the way our weather's looking I might not get it made in time to wear before it gets too warm outside. :-)

Jill coat is actually straight, like the Kwik Sew pattern. If you do want a true A-line, here is the "Penelope" coat from Ottobre Design 5/2009: The side seams gently flare out, starting under the bust. The back has a yoke similar to the front, and a center back seam from yoke to hem - no pleats or other detailing. McCalls 5767 is a Palmer/Pletsch classically shaped coat: It lacks the collar you want, though.

AWESOME!!! I kind of remember seeing the safari-like jacket, but I must have passed right over the other one (or I'm thinking of a different pattern). Thanks again!

I have wanted to try a Palmer/Pletsch pattern, since I have their book. But you're right, I'd like the collar. Thanks again to both of you!
