This Flora Jacket is made from a STUNNING lightweight quilt that dates back to the 1800s, that both hand-pieced and quilted in a Broken Star pattern. The edges are bound in a dusty blue lyocell twill fabric, along with the pocket edges, and front plackets. This style jacket features a scooped side hem, bound edges, plackets and inner collar, antique brass snaps and oversized handwarmer style pockets. This is the Flora Jacket pattern by Brightside Pattern Company that I pattern tested for them, and they were kind enough to grant me permission to make finished coats available to you! The fit is oversized through the body with slimmer arms, and a stand up collar - a truly amazing fit!
It is possible this piece shows its age in places in the form of worn, slightly discolored areas, and/or mends - these are not viewed as flaws, but rather giving it character and showing its history. There is light fading and wear throughout, as well as some discoloration that I have done my best to capture in the photos, but is possible that not all are photographed. I soaked this gently several times and then dried in the sun, so she is clean and ready to be worn and loved. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
