I made this fur coat for my daughter last December as
my special gift with a personal touch to her for Christmas. The
inspiration came from lovely children collections from Chloé and Dior seen in
Galerie Lafayette, from the fabric that I was lucky to find the same day, and of
course, from my daughter herself. And the coat was ready just in time for
our visit to see “The Nutcracker” in Paris Opera.
Эту шубку я сшила для дочки незадолго до Рождества, как раз к праздничному выходу в Оперу на балет «Щелкунчик». Вдохновением же послужили зимние детские коллекции Dior и Chloé, тут же попавшийся нежнейший искусственный мех, и конечно сама дочка.
The coat is based on the
pattern of a coat from BurdaStyle Kids Spring Holiday Collection in February
issue for 2012. I wanted my coat to have slightly flared silhouette and to
have a hem ruffle. To make this, I shortened the original pattern of the front
and back details by 20cm and then added 3cm flares to the middle of the front
details and 6 cm to the center line of the back detail.
За
основу я использовала выкройку летнего пальто из праздничной детской коллекции в Burda
02/2012, предварительно сильно изменив ее. Мне хотелось придать шубе эффект расклешенности,
поэтому, сначала укоротив бумажную выкройку
на 20 см, я добавила в нее клинья по центру полочек (по 3см в основании)
и на середине спинки(6см в основании).
Mod.140 BurdaStyle 2/2012
I widened the collar by 3 cm
and cut out the neckline for about 1cm.
For the hem ruffle I used all
the remaining fabric. Its finished width is 23cm.
The coat is lined with thick
matelassé lining except for the sleeves. To avoid extra volume and possible
clumsiness in shoulders I used regular lining of the matching color for the
sleeves.
Ширину воротничка я увеличила на 3 см и примерно на 1 см сделала глубже вырез горловины.
Для оборки я использовала весь оставшийся мех. Ее законченная ширина около 23 см.
Внутри шубы я использовала готовый подклад из синтепона. Для рукавов подошел обычный подклад, что помогло избежать излишнего объема в плечах.
For the size 140 - the actual height of my daughter -
I used 1m 50cm of synthetic fur. The coat is fastened on 4 sew-on snaps. I
added two pompoms on large satin ribbons for a final decorative touch.
Для выкройки на рост 140 см я использовала 1 м 50 см
искусственого меха. Шуба застегивается на пришивные кнопки. Cатиновые ленты с бомбошками (20 см диаметр окружности при раскрое) завязываются на бант.
My daughter did not want to take her new coat off in
the theater and kept it on the whole time we were watching “The
Nutcracker”. I think nobody
minded that.))
Дочка не захотела снять шубу даже во время спектакля, но судя по улыбкам окружающих в театре, никто не посчитал это плохим тоном.
Wishing everyone beautiful winter
holidays!
Желаю всем красивых зимних праздников!
Absolutely stunning!! Did you buy the fabric locally?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment!
ReplyDeleteYes, I bought the fabric in Paris, in one of the boutiques of the fabric market St.Pierre last year.
Чудеснейшая шубка! Как из сказки!
ReplyDeleteСпасибо, Дарья! :)
DeleteSooo gorgeous! So beautiful! Little lady princess.
ReplyDeletedo you know what the fur is called? I have been searching for it online everywhere and can't find it! I want to make it for my little sister :( if you have the name of the parisian shop that stocked this or the website I'd really appreciate it. This coat is absolutely to die for!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment! I do not know how this type of fur is called - it is an artificial fur, a bit loose in its texture. I bought it almost three years ago in one of those boutiques where they sell mainly different fabrics not on the bolt but in cuts. It is called Sacré Coupons Gentlemen de Tissus. I will add some more close-up pictures of the fur to have a better idea of its texture. Hope that helped!)))
DeleteIt absolutely does help, thank you. Im wondering if I'd be able to recreate it with nice fur, and doing a zigzag stitch in the same pattern along the front? I might try on scrap. Thank you so much for your reply!
