I'm over the moon! I worked with the Garmz team to choose a fabric (the russet wool wasn't available), find the right fur and buttons, and bring this little sketch to a full-fledged winter coat. It's a nice warm tweed, with French faux fur that is removable (both collar and cuffs), and a slight Steampunk twist with the buttons.
I was inspired by 18th century riding habits, with the three big pleats in the back, and the large collar (think redingote). I enjoyed working on this, and I hope you all enjoy the design and for those of you ordering it, enjoy wearing it!

Thank you all for voting for this design, and I'm so happy to present it to you!
CONGRATULATIONS! How marvellous. You must be feeling over the moon. And they look like they have done justice to your design. Quite lovely. Did you get your name on it or anything???
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Wow. Congratulations! I voted, I voted! :) Now, that pink raincoat... I'm very happy for you, it looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I really like that the fur ont he cuffs is removeable. I will have to see if there are images of the coat sans fur!!
ReplyDeleteSTUNNING!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! If you don't mind me asking, do you get a part of the sales?
ReplyDeleteWhat a feather for your cap! Congratulations on having your design brought to life.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Lauren! It's a beautiful coat and I hope it does well! I'd like to see the raincoat next, that's been my favorite! :)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It's enchanting and sooo darling! I love it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you guys SO much! I know it is you all that made this possible, by supporting me and voting for my design (I'm sorry I bugged you all so much!).
ReplyDeleteTo answer the questions - yes, my label with "American Duchess" is sewn into the jacket, and I do get 5% of each sale of the coat, so I'm hoping it sells out! It's a very limited run, I think only 200 or may fewer, and hopefully Garmz will want to do the raincoat design at some point too :-)
Thank you all again! <3
That is stunning! Congratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks amazing! I would totally buy it, but it looks like it will be a little small on me! Congrats though! :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Huge congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOh Man... I want it so bad, it's stunning and perfect! You are a great designer!
