Featured Pattern
LE MANTEAU MARCELLO slips on like a borrowed gentleman’s coat, but once belted, it gives a silhouette of effortless femininity. It has a collarless shape, cinches at the waist and a framed neckline that gently follows the curve of the neck. The absence of buttons gives it a relaxed yet confident feel, while carefully crafted shoulder and back details add a refined structure. Its clean lines and straight cut are inspired by THE 1960s Italian tailoring - balancing the strength of a structured shoulder with the softness of a drape you’ll love to wrap yourself in. A must-have with just the right hint of androgyny - without compromising elegance.

Lining fabric width of 55” require approx.1.75yds(160cm) for US2-14 and approx. 2.41yds(220cm) for US16-20. All versions require 43.3”(110cm) of interfacing.
