Vogue V1331 Koos Van Den Akker Coat Size 14-22 Avant-Garde Fashion
Product Details
This Vogue sewing pattern V1331 by renowned designer Koos Van Den Akker features an avant-garde misses' coat with a very loose-fitting, unlined design. The coat includes a collar and collar band cut crosswise, slightly extended shoulders, and an applied front band with unique cut-outs, welt pockets, and topstitching. The style is distinctive, perfect for creative fashion enthusiasts wanting to make a statement piece. Sized for misses ranging from 14 to 22, this pattern offers a design that blends bold fabric contrasts and artistic patchwork details, characteristic of Koos Van Den Akker's couture approach. The finished coat length measures approximately 37½ to 39½ (95cm to 100cm). The pattern calls for moderate stretch knits like boiled wool and double knit with jersey contrast fabrics. It includes instructions for five 1 buttons, one ¾ button, and three skeins of yarn for accent stitching. This uncut pattern from the USA is perfect for advanced sewers looking to craft a unique, stylish coat.
