| When you live in Chicago, a great winter coat is a necessity. For three seasons of the year, the world sees you mostly in a coat, so I have at least a dozen. Besides the fall and winter neutrals, I love making a coat in late January in a bright color to perk up my winter and get me through those first cool days of spring. This coat has a low enough armhole to accomodate a bulky sweater or suit jacket, a flattering easy to sew pocket for your essentials, and a collar that you can just button-up to keep the chill out. The two lengths will cover your long or short skirts, and look great with pants, so make yourself more than one...change the pocket style, do some topstitching, or add a big shawl and you'll be toasty while you look fabulous. | |
