The coat pictured was a strong orange in colour and possibly wool.
Designed by Givenchy.
The coat has an open, stand up collar & raglan sleeve.
Large fabric cover buttons in contrast black, which went to wonderfully with her black leather gloves, black bag and black shoes. There is the golden rule - bag should match the shoes !

The bateau neckline is lovely, but how much sweeter does it look with the bow finish.

I know its not a vintage pattern, but is a modern pattern of a vintage design.
And...don't forget your gloves !

I have not yet made gloves, but do have a pattern. How hard cna they be? I think they may be a bit fiddley, but would be a pleasure to create in your own colours and textures.

ReplyDeleteThat has got to be one of my favorite movies. Love the pattern match ups!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ladies :) So many beautiful garments worn so fantastically from Audrey.
ReplyDeleteAudrey is undoubtedly one .... no, definitely my favorite actress of all time. She has a natural elegance that is transmitted. Your work is lovely to find the patterns for all these models. Charade is on the waiting list for my "suit of the month. "
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!!
ReplyDeleteA blog friend of mine bought the Vogue 6121 pattern. When she and her mom got home they found it was missing the directions. She is hoping to find someone with the directions that would be willing to scan them for her. this is her blog post. http://uglycutedesigns.blogspot.com/ ... Thanks :O)
