1951 Swing Coat. Bust 96 cm (37.8"). PDF pattern.

Also available as a printed PAPER pattern

The collar on this coat has a striking silhouette when worn folded up behind the neck, and a classic look when it lays over the shoulders. The original sketches show the design worn as a hip length swing-back coat with lots of flare (red). Another two examples show the coat worn at mid-calf length, and with two different versions for wearing the belt. The original description emphasises that the coat should be worn with a slim skirt to enhance the contrasting design lines.
