The Darcy Coat is an elegant and comfortable coat designed to work with your body, not against it. It is a layer that can be slipped on over your thickest jumper and still drape beautifully while giving you total freedom of movement.

Fit-wise this coat is very oversized and roomy, so if you’re in between sizes, it’s recommended to choose the smaller size. The volume has been added to the pattern through a dropped shoulder, deep armholes, wide sleeves and a wide main body.

Skill level: Intermediate - Advanced.

Sizing: Sizes 4 - 28 (with PDF Layers)

   - Snaps - We recommend 12mm snaps
* You will need 6 buttons or snaps for the centre front fastening and 6 buttons or snaps for the sleeve tabs
* Shoulder Pads - if you would like to add a shoulder pad you’ll need 2 pads that are suitable for coats.
