This Flora Jacket is made from a midweight quilt that has a delicious squish to it, and soft backing (that shows a bit of pilling), and in hand-pieced and quilted, with stunning pink, green, and calico fabrics. The placket and inner collar are constructed from a rich navy colored linen/cotton, and the edges are bound in a floral print indigo fabric. This quilt was soaked several times, then dried in the sun, however it still has some faint, even age discoloration throughout though it was difficult to capture in photos.
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. Please review all images as returns are not accepted - no exceptions.
