A shorter silhouette, created through a few simple pattern adjustments.
1. Shorten the coat
On both the front and back pattern pieces, mark a new cutting line at the lower pocket notch and shorten the pattern pieces along this line. The hem allowance is included, meaning the finished coat will sit slightly above the lower pocket notch. Omit the pockets from the coat.
2. Adjust front facing and lining
Place the front facing pattern piece on top of the shortened front pattern piece. Shorten the facing by an additional 3 cm so that it is 3 cm shorter than the adjusted front piece. If lining the coat, shorten the lining pattern pieces by the same amount as the front facing, so that the lining is also 3 cm shorter than the adjusted coat.
3. Adjust the button placement
- Button 1: Keep the original position.
- Buttons 2 and 3: Position with 13 cm between each button.
