I made the collar big to give it more of a retro look and feel; there is still a hood but it has more of a clamshell shape. The hood has a draw strings - too pull tight when it is cold. The casing for the drawstrings is sewn on the outside of the hood (on the wool side) a few inches from the edge. When the ties are pulled it creates a small ruffle. I moved the buttons to the outside of the coat and got rid of the decorative seam down the front. I made the coat fuller at the bottom, shorter and trimmed it in fur. I changed the belt in back to ties. The sleeves have been changed to raglan sleeves; they are nice and full at the top(about 4 inches fuller than the original) and longer. |
