I have a fabulous A mQ for Givenchy blazer pattern. The lapels come up through the collar, giving it this very dramatic and quite alarming appearance. I’ve never sewn it, but held onto it for almost 20 years. It’s inspiring.
Vogue 2086? (link) I haven’t seen anyone make the jacket yet; it’s certainly on my list! Inspiring is right 🙂
ive made it. i overcomplicated things by making it from denim with lots of topstitching, however, and adjusting for a very full bust. it was fantastic, and I have no idea where it got to 😦 ive also got a copy of French Vogue with the same jacket on the cover, and its interesting to compare the two. the Vogue pattern has been toned down, and lacks the dramatic swoop of the original shoulderline.
I have three copies of this pattern… and I’ve always been afraid to cut. Finally, for this past Halloween, I got up the gumption to slice into it. It’s pretty straight forward sewing. I did add a small bone to the back of peaked lapel so it would stand proudly through the slit in the chest shield. The one oddity of this pattern was the shoulder line. I needed to build up a full 1″ pagoda shaped shoulder pad and that even seemed small. it took some trial and error, but it ended up working out perfectly. It does seem that there is a disconnect between the pattern, the garment shown on the pattern envelope and the variations shown on the runway. If I were to make it again I would “Frankenstein” the lapels and collar onto a jacket pattern that has a proven fit.
made that up in a nice green prince of wales plaid – it was great fun to make and look like a million bucks. Unfortunately I grew out of it when I left my thirty’s!
