Darcy Coat | PDF Pattern

£15.00

The Darcy Coat is an elegant and comfortable coat that is designed for throwing over any outfit. Whether you're wearing chunky winter layers or a simple summer outfit, the Darcy Coat will drape over the top and work with your body not against it.

You can create winter or summer versions which can be lined or unlined (you will receive instructions for both options). You can also choose between welt pockets or patch pockets depending on your skill level and your intended style for the piece. This is the probably the most complex make in our range but it is well worth the effort.

Sizing: Sizes 4 - 28 (with PDF Layers)

Skill level: Intermediate / advanced sewers (there are design options for first time coat makers and also experienced sewers)

The Darcy Coat is very oversized and roomy with plenty of room for thick layers to be worn underneath. Due to the amount of volume it’s best to size down if you’re in-between sizes.

Super smart pattern

I sewed a Darcy coat with in waterproof cotton for the spring. I didn't make any changes to the pattern other than the pockets. The trench coat turned out to be very comfortable and fashionable. I plan to sew a wool coat using this pattern in the fall.

I love this coat!

Took me a week, worth every minute. I’ve had so many compliments since I’ve been wearing it. I’m a size 8-10, 5ft3 and cut the size 8 in a dead stock wool/ cashmere blend. Fits really well, with an oversized look. I followed the ‘Darcy coat hack’ on the blog post and went for a slender cut, really glad I did this as it looks very elegant. I still haven’t put the buttons on.. waiting to find the perfect buttons but in the meantime it looks great with the belt tide up.

Best coat ever!!

Wow, this coat is so amazing! The shape drapes so beautifully; big and cosy but somehow still looks incredibly stylish. I finished it 3 days ago, I've been wearing it solidly since then and EVERY person I've come across has commented on my beautiful coat. Definitely worth the effort of a slow make but I love that sort of thing anyway. I went to the extra effort of doing double welt bound button holes and they really give the coat a professional finish. I'll definitely make this one again! I'm normally a size 10-12 and made a size 10. It's super roomy without being too big. I also ADORE the length. Love it!!
