Maison Fauve Sewing Patterns presents the Ray Coat.
A straight cut; a timeless but iconic look, the RAY coat is a piece that sets out to shake up the figure but with an accuracy of proportions. This coat is the master piece of the collection SEW ME ARTY, and a tribute to the artist and designer Ray Eames.
The beautiful details: buttoned low for more a modern look, a martingale belt at the back, the choice between patch or welt pockets with flaps, a fitted but not narrow cut, and above all, the famous detail that changes everything: a pleat on the sleeve, held in place by a buttoned strap.
SEWING LEVEL
Advanced. Technical points are the assembly of a lining, the piped pocket with flap.
FABRIC CHOICE
The RAY coat can be sewn in soft woollen fabrics or a jacquard, a slightly heavy velvet, or a heavy cotton twill. It is lined.
