1941 Swing coat. Bust 88 cm or 96 cm (34.6" or 37.8")

Also available as a PDF pattern

This mid-length coat features classic 1940s styling, with wide shoulders and an A-line shape. The yokes, the front button stand and the centre back are made from contrasting fabric. For a different look, try reversing the colour blocking — choose a plain fabric for the main coat and a plaid for the yokes and trim. Include shoulder pads to achieve the true 1940s square shoulder line, whatever styling you choose.
