Hi guys
Currently cutting a winter coat for myself, I guess roughly peacoat style but maybe a bit smarter (db, sort of peaked lapels but not pointing up, etc.)
I would quite like welted pockets as in my little (poor) sketch below. I'm thinking I still need a dart to get the chest shape I'd like. How does the dart interact with pockets like this? Also does anyone have any guidance on pocket placement in this case?
Thank you!
Robbie
I was at the Fashion City exhibition in London today and this ladies overcoat from the 1940s reminded me of this thread. Somewhere between a displaced princess seam and a side panel seam brought forward slightly (exactly what I mentioned in my previous post), and a bust dart. You can see how inseam pockets could easily be incorporated, though it looks far more elegant with these slanted ones. Unfortunately these photos don't show off the work(wo)manship. They were beautifully executed. Anyway, cutting across the seam/dart clearly isn't problematic. https://flic.kr/p/2pecsb4
