A gabardina de organza – The organza trench coat

Português
English (uncheck the other box and check this one)

Modelo original: Revista Burda Internacional 1/96, modelo 915:


Esta revista traz mais opções para este mesmo molde, sendo a minha favorita este casaco (reparem como um tecido diferente muda completamente o estilo do modelo):

Material: Organza de seda natural (uma oferta do Paco, gracias, querido amigo!), 6 botões de madrepérola azul-turquesa grandes, 1 mais pequeno, botões de reforço transparentes (também oferecidos pelo Paco!).

Modificações ao modelo original: A única modificação que fiz foi acrescentar os botões, e aplicar costuras francesas (também chamadas inglesas) nas costuras verticais e para as cavas usar uma técnica que consiste em aparar os valores de costura apenas das mangas e usar os valores de costura da gabardina para cobrir os da manga.

As técnicas para trabalhar com organza foram explicadas com detalhe num projecto anterior, a minha blusa vermelha de organza.

Detalhes:

O ângulo da gola e os pespontos:

Os bolsos de chapa com paleta falsa:


Os botões:

Os punhos virados:

Os botões de reforço e o botão mais pequeno que segura o trespasse por dentro:

As casas de botão feitas com o caseador automático da minha máquina:

As cavas do avesso:

A gabardina sem cinto:

Conclusão: Um projecto muito original (quem se lembraria de fazer uma gabardina de organza?), com um resultado 100% satisfatório! O facto de ter todo trabalhado num tecido transparente faz com que sejam aplicados cuidados adicionais no tratamento das costuras e nos remates. O facto de esta organza ser 100% seda facilita bastante o trabalho de costura, pois ao contrário da organza sintética, esta pode passar-se a ferro com uma temperatura alta e até usar vapor. Além disso é muito mais resistente do que a organza sintética.

Estive o fim-de-semana praticamente sem Internet, por isso só amanhã deverei começar a por as leituras dos blogs em dia! Bom, e agora é preciso começar a preparar o próximo projecto! Até breve!


Original Model: pattern n915 from Burda Internacional 1/96:


This magazine features several versions for this same pattern and my favorite is this one (note as another type of fabric makes it look as a completely different model!):

Materials: Silk organza (a gift from my dear friend Paco, gracias, querido amigo!), 6 mother-of-pearl buttons and a smaller one for the wrong side, small reinforcement buttons (these were a gift from Paco too!)

Modifications to the original model: The only alterations were adding the buttons and the seam treatment (French seams and self-bound armholes – trimming the sleeve SAs to aprox. 1/8inch and using the armhole SAs to bind the sleeve SAs)

The techniques used for sewing with silk organza were thoroughly explained on a previous project, the red organza blouse.

Details:

The notched collar and the edge topstitching which encases the SAs:

The patch pockets with false flaps:


The buttons (mother-of-pearl matching the trench color):

The turn-up cuffs:

The small reinforcement buttons and the mother-of-pearl inner button which holds the left front in place:

The buttonholes made with the automatic buttonholer:

The wrong side of the armholes:

The trench coat unbelted:

Conclusion: A very original garment (who would have thought of making an organza trench coat), with 100% satisfaction achieved! The fact of using see-through fabric is the more challenging aspect of this project, because all the extra care and time invested on the seam treatment and finishing. Using 100%silk organza makes this job easier because it can be pressed and steamed at high temperatures (as opposite to the more common synthetic organza) and the silk organza is not as easily ripped.

My internet connection was down for most of the weekend, so I haven’t been able to catch up on my blog reading; hope to do so tomorrow! Well, and now I must prepare my next project! See you soon!

I never thought this would happen, but I am practically speechless! It's such an amazing coat, superb workmanship, gorgeous colour and original style. It's also great that you can use a pattern from 1996.

Tany,

Esta LINDA a gabardine! É mesmo impensável uma gabardine de organza mas qualquer mulher deve ter uma! Muito fashion!

Fica muito bem o cinto "Sex and the City" na gabardine e até acaba por contrastar os estilos.

Ficou mesmo linda e os acabamentos...PERFEITOS!

Celina said...

Quanta perfeição!! Sendo o tecido transparente, tiveste de ter um cuidado imenso nas costuras e nos pormenores, não dá para facilitar do lado do avesso porque está tudo à vista! Assombroso!
Quanto à peça em si, é super original (algumas ideias para vestir?) e ficou linda, gosto muito da cor. O teu closet está recheado de peças fabulosas!

Tany, every time I think you can't achieve anything more beautiful than you have, you prove me wrong. This is so amazingly beautiful...the only thing it needs is for you to wear it! Thank you so much for sharing. And Paco, thank you for providing inspiration and raw materials.

Tany.- te quedó fantástica. enhorabuena. Observo que hay muchas "admiradoras" del color, lo que me alegra. Una vez terminada la prenda, incluso se vé más bonito con el juego de transparencias. Abrazos, Paco

Tany, your blog never disappoints. I learn something new everytime I read. Thank you for taking the time to show us all of the details. This coat in such an unexpected fabric is simply gorgeous!

Summerset said...

Just gorgeous and so well finished! I would have done the same finish at the armholes to finish the seam allowances.

I love the other version of the coat, too. I'm just about ready to trace and cut a jacket from houndstooth fabric.

Gretchen the Household Deity said...

Oh my goodness, that is jaw-dropping!!!! Wow. Very Louis Vuitton but in a wearable way. That is sensational.

Cindy said...

What else can be said? It's just gorgeous!

Cennetta said...

Tany, Absolutely superb! You are a outstanding designer.

what a fabulous creation! I was enamored with the idea of the organza jacket when I saw it in Burda and I love it so much more here. Great job! Love it! Do we get to see it paired with an outfit? I hope so!
