Backrest construction (fig. 1)

We start building the pattern from the back. In the upper left corner of the sheet of paper, put point A. From point A, lay down a straight line segment AA1 = 2.5 cm for all sizes. A1D = 100 cm (coat length on the back).

AA2 = 1/6 Neck circumference by measure + 1 cm (the increase can be increased depending on the size up to 2 cm).

A1G = Depth of the armhole to measure + 2.5 cm (an increase in the freedom of fitting).

А1Т = Length of back to waist according to your measurements + 1 cm (increase for freedom of fitting).

ГГ2 = 1/4 Hip circumference by measure + 5 cm (increase for freedom of fit). DD1 = YY2. Draw a line for the side of the coat G2D1.

PP1 = 4.5 cm - slope shoulder seam backs. To determine the length of the back shoulder seam from the AD line, set aside the ½ Shoulder Width measurement (fig. 1). Draw a line at the back of the armhole.

Back shoulder rise. From point P1, set aside 2 cm up (lifting the shoulder of the back). Extend the line and set aside the segment A2H = Shoulder length + Sleeve length according to the measurement.

Descent of the armhole line. From point 2 (raising the shoulder of the back) along the segment A2H, set aside 2-P2 = 6 cm.Draw the lowered line of the armhole, deepening it from point G2 by 2 cm: G2G3 = 2 cm.

Draw the sleeve as shown in fig. 1. Increase the length of the sleeve ridge so that the sleeve ridge length is equal to the length of the armhole. The width of the sleeve at the bottom HH1 = 16 cm (draw HH1 at right angles to the segment A2H). Along the upper side of the sleeve, place a dart 13 cm long and 2 cm deep.

Narrowed back hem. From point D1, set aside 2 cm to the left and draw a side line G3-2.

Transfer 2 parts of the barrel to tracing paper and glue along the side line (Fig. 4).

Building a shelf (fig. 2)

The shelf pattern is built on the basis of the back. When building, it is necessary to lift the shelf in accordance with the accident measurement. All other constructions remain unchanged. To do this, from the waistline, set aside a segment TA = Length of the front to the waist according to the measurement + 1 cm (increase in the freedom of fitting).

Draw a horizontal segment of the AP. From point A with radius R = 1/6 of the neck circumference by measure + 1 cm, cut the front neckline (A1A2). Connect point 2 (the extreme point of the back shoulder) and point A2. Straighten the deflated shoulder line by drawing a segment A2P2.

On the shelf from the midline along the waistline, set aside 3 cm to the right. Draw a slightly curved line of approach to the fastener; deepen the neckline by 1 cm, build an emergency lapel configuration 4.5 cm wide as shown in fig. 2.

Draw a collar line and reshoot the hem separately on tracing paper.

Sleeve and stand-up collar pattern

Record the details of the sleeve of the back and the shelf on tracing paper, align in the center, raise the okat by 1 cm (Fig. 3).

Measure the distance along the neckline of the back and the front between the control marks for stitching in the collar (Fig. 4, marks 3-3).

It's no secret that it is difficult to collect demi-season looks - it is the coat that plays the main role in them. It should be beautiful and at the same time perfectly combined, so you should look for it among the original, and sometimes controversial design ideas.

Cocoon-shaped coat models

Fashion does not tolerate trivial decisions, but it becomes more and more difficult to stand out from the crowd with the help of an individual image. To do this accurately, it is worth trying on women's coats"cocoon". These models have a very graceful silhouette, not emphasizing too strictly the figure, but literally enveloping it. The name of the style speaks for itself, it allows you to emphasize the dignity of the figure and give your own image charm.

These models have their own fashion story... For the first time on the catwalks and on the streets of European capitals, they appeared almost a hundred years ago. It's hard to imagine, but it was then that a real revolution took place in women's fashion - ladies began to wear short and defiant - knee-length - clothes.

The authorship of the style is still controversial, but as often happens in a creative environment, the idea of ​​the style appeared at once from several Parisian couturiers. It should be noted that at that time there was no such thing as a "ready-made dress", clothes were made to order, even in the most famous fashion houses today.

But it was the cocoon coat models that set the stage for mass production and the opportunity to dress beautifully and stylishly, not only to the owners of fortunes and titles. Instead of fur coats and fur coats, ladies began to wear miniature, intricate cut and cashmere.

Despite the time (yes - it really is a hundred years old), the style of such models has remained unchanged, but has not lost its relevance. Although, as expected, any ingenious fashion idea, he left the trends and returned to the catwalks again. The time of oblivion fell on the period of unisex fashion and global casual style, thanks to which women's fashion has largely lost its identity.

The cut of the cocoon coat is still simple today. Lowered shoulder line - feminine and graceful, soft, not emphasizing the figure, elegant "oval" silhouette and minimum additional details... Such models today do not have expressive volumetric pockets and cuffs, as well as catchy trimmings, but a characteristic and integral detail has been preserved - a delicately narrowed hem. These coats have become the prototype of the most fashionable oversized things today - dimensionless and very expressive. Such as the cocoon coats in the photo demonstrate the ideal silhouette solutions:




Cocoon styles

The ideally feminine cut of the cocoon coat quite accurately sets accents and creates intrigue.

Pay attention to the shoulder line on these models - it is either lowered or created with a raglan cut. In any case, it is complemented by wide sleeves with a free armhole. Such solutions allow you to create an extended and, at the same time, soft shoulder shape.

In the original vintage version, these models are complemented by shortened “three-quarters” sleeves, and elbow-length gloves are an invariable accessory to them. Today's styles are most often complemented by standard-length sleeves - straight or slightly tapered to the wrist.

These models have one more canonical stroke of the style - the cocoon coat is not long - as much as possible the hem should only slightly cover the knee or be slightly higher. Thanks to this, the style fits and looks great on any type of figure.

Such solutions for the style of fashionable cocoon coats - real find for short ladies of full build, it is usually the most difficult for them to choose elegant outerwear. But this style successfully balances the proportions of the figure, due to the wide line of the shoulders and the soft silhouette. And the narrowed hem and the absence of an accent on the waist line will visually come to harmony. It is quite easy to choose accessories for such models, it is only important not to violate the harmony of the style solution.

And of course, such models are suitable for slender ladies of any height. Of particular interest are coats with a minimum of "distracting" details such as cuffs or large patch pockets - they distort the clean lines of the silhouette. And in many ways they limit the possibilities of combination.

An important detail of these styles is the collar. In the original version, such models were complemented by voluminous collars - "yokes" or very high soft "racks". They allow you to wear miniature hats and do without scarves. This decision is still relevant today, especially given the popularity of original vintage looks.

A cocoon coat with a hood will look more democratic, but no less stylish. The idea of ​​the style will be supported by voluminous, soft-shaped hoods that can be draped beautifully.

Coat "cocoon" of the season "2017-2018"

The sophistication and defenselessness of the female image has returned to trends. These ideas are very difficult to translate into everyday wardrobe, but in the season "2017 -2018" cocoon coats will make it unmistakable.

Vintage is in vogue, but use fashionable styles designers prefer new ways. Compact and very elegant coat is a real hit fashion season and the exact opposite of jackets and windbreakers.

The style has remained the same, soft and enveloping like a cocoon for a future butterfly, only the materials have changed, they set the tone. Natural wool of excellent manufacture remains trendy - light and high-quality cashmere or drape is beyond competition. The nobility and respectability of the material is the key to the effect of such models. But this season, not only demi-season models are relevant, but also a cocoon summer coat. They are sewn from light gabardine or cotton-based fabrics with various impregnations.

Such light cocoons have become an alternative to summer raincoats, they are designed for those who value individuality in their own image and are able to use original ideas in everyday ensembles.


To definitely get into the trend, you just need to take into account the nuances of the current fashion range. It is worth considering that such a laconic style wins significantly in combination with a local, monochromatic color. Even the most fashionable print literally blurs the silhouette, the only exception is a very large multicolored check - a real hit of this season.

The trendy color palette features fairly conservative pastel shades. Natural camel hair color, bleached gray and coffee. Neutral light tones perfectly emphasize the nobility of the lines and allow you to always look elegant.




No less relevant in the 2017-2018 season are cocoon coats of bright and pure shades. Such models look especially good and create an elegant look in autumn looks. Snow white, cream, red and the newly returned pink color are perfectly combined with the style.

What to wear with a cocoon coat

Such models look most organically and advantageously in the images of two directions: vintage and smart casual. Putting together a vintage look in the style of Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn is a tempting idea, but hardly realizable, especially if you need to go to work in the morning. But it is the vintage looks that should not be put off "for later" or for a good occasion. Moreover, in any feminine look based on a dress or a set based on a skirt, such a coat will add the desired vintage accent.

Knee length makes its own set successful ensembles... To begin with, exclude which styles that can distort the silhouette, namely skirts and dresses with a "midi" length, and even more so "maxi". To reveal all the advantages of such coats will help skirts and dresses with a "mini" length or universal knee-length tight-fitting silhouette.

Excellent topical ensembles with such models will allow you to collect tight leggings, and in combination with dresses and skirts - thick colored tights. The style perfectly demonstrates the harmony and beauty of the legs, in order to enhance the effect, you just need to choose harmonious color combinations tights and shoes.


An ideal set with such a model will also make up narrow, ankle-length cigarette trousers. This set, by the way, can be considered a classic of vintage: both coats and trousers of these styles appeared in modern fashion at the same time and look perfect in the set. A more casual and non-trivial option will help create skinny jeans. But when fitting, you should avoid wide, straight or flared models that weigh down the silhouette. Several answers to the question "what to wear a cocoon coat with?" - in the photo below:


Cocoon-shaped coats, especially designed for demi-season looks, will require a special selection of hats. In a casual version, a miniature knitted hat of local color will look best. And if the coat is without a collar, then in combination with a voluminous snood, and even a boa. More elegant image will help to create the same miniature felt hats. It can be vintage "cloaches" and any fancy models with narrow margins. The main thing is to keep in proportion and not to include too bulky hats in the kit.

Bags and shoes for cocoon coat

To take advantage of all the advantages and benefits of such models, you need to carefully select accessories, and even more so, shoes for a cocoon coat. There are many combination options, and the choice depends only on what kind of image you want to create.

An important point for a successful kit is the choice of a bag. Initially, such models were worn with miniature "ladies'" reticules and handbags with short handles - at the bend of the elbow or simply in the hands. Today, this option can be considered smart, but, unfortunately, not everyday.

The reedicle, by the way, will be successfully replaced by a fashionable clutch.

And for everyday and comfortable looks, you can safely choose bulky bags of "soft" outlines and loose styles, for example, "hobo" or "tote" will help to create an actual image.

When deciding what shoes to wear a cocoon coat with, it is always worth evaluating the initial design idea. Both the cut and the overall impression that such models create is elegant femininity. Therefore, in no case should you make the silhouette heavier with the help of shoes, but as much as possible with its help, emphasize the slimness of the legs.

Elegant knee-high boots, jackboots and fashionable jockey-style boots will look great in such sets.

But what should be categorically abandoned is massive boots with flat and thick soles and platform boots.

An exception should be made to combine a cocoon coat with sneakers. They, as well as, have long become part of urban female images- they are worn both with dresses and elegant coats. In this combination, you get a youthful and slightly ironic image in which things of diametrically opposite styles are mixed.

For those who prefer elegant yet comfortable solutions, boots are the perfect match for a short cocoon coat. men's styles on the flat sole such as oxford.

And for lovers of heels - graceful on high heels, it can be both thick and stable, and thin. But it is best to wear such shoes with thick colored tights matched to the color of the shoes.

Fashion, like many things in our life, goes in a circle. Recently replaced by tight-fitting forms outerwear the cocoon coat came. It was relevant back in the middle of the last century, and today this clothing is popular again. She will be a real favorite in the near future.

The cocoon coat usually has elbow-length sleeves and is long. The product is sometimes decorated with bulky buttons and beautiful brooches. This coat will be beautiful and elegant only if it is made of expensive and high-quality fabric. Otherwise, the image may not look very good.

History of the creation of the coat

Cristobal Balenciaga can be considered the first who came up with such outerwear. He demonstrated this fashion trend at the beginning of 1957, and after a while he continued to bring to life bright voluminous things. He gave the world a huge collection of clothes and accessories, which were not several sizes larger than the figures of the models. Also, the cocoon coat is a favorite of Grace Kelly. This famous woman was friends with Mr. Balenciaga, and often wore his things. But there is an opinion that such a coat was invented earlier, since it was published back in 1912 in French magazines.

The most popular cocoon coat with a hood was in the eighties, at that time it had a more strict look. Almost all designers, including Yves, have shown similar forms in their own collections. Saint laurent... Since fashion designers have recently been increasingly remembering retro style 80s, this thing is relevant again.

What to wear with a cocoon coat? This thing always has three-dimensional forms, so it is important to observe the principle of proportionality. Of course, a lot depends on the type of figure. Girls who are small in stature should combine outerwear with straight trousers and boots or high-heeled shoes. If you are proud tall, you can safely wear a cocoon coat with flared trousers and sneakers, as seen in the Italian Max Mara collection. Prefer to wear a skirt? Then keep in mind that she is able to "cut" the figure, so it is better to buy a skirt that is the same length as the coat.

The color variety of these things allows each girl to find her own version. So blue and pink coat, as you can see in the photo of Guillaume Henri's collection, it is relevant for gentle and at the same time courageous women. A piece with stripes, plaid or plain black will become a classic item that you will not want to take off.

To complement your fashionable image, be sure to use gloves. The latter are especially relevant if you have opted for a coat with sleeves ¾. The main thing is that they go under the sleeves of the coat, but do not squeeze their hands.

A summer cocoon coat goes well with 7/8 cropped pants, as well as with skinny jeans. The autumn and spring version of the coat with thick black tights also looks interesting. If you can't refuse a dress, go for a tight fit. In this case, the coat should either completely cover your dress, or it should be cropped to the thighs.

For hats, go for stole scarves, wide-brimmed hats, and retro hats. A contrasting long scarf goes well with this outerwear.

To make the image harmonious, you should not wear a coat with lace tights and colored ankle boots or shoes. Strive for your look to be harmonious and consistent with a minimalist style. Some button-free styles may be somewhat uncomfortable. Numerous jackets and sweaters will help to shelter from the cold, especially since it is very easy to hide warm clothes under a voluminous top!

Combination options:

  • If you are interested in a winter and autumn look, choose a coat with a fur collar. It goes well with men's boots, mid-length boots, oversized pants and jeans.

  • Stylishly combine a white bodycon dress with a red plaid coat of medium length. White or beige shoes, as well as a bright pink brooch will complement this look.
  • How to wear outerwear to impress at first sight? if you love bright colours, give preference to a yellow or orange coat. This is an interesting option that can be paired with leopard leggings and black patent leather shoes. A girl in this style will not leave indifferent any man!

  • Another trendy look is hyper volume in dark tones. A dark green cocoon coat paired with a black hat, black tight-fitting pants and men's boots is a trendy and minimalistic option!
  • A white or beige cocoon-style coat is bright and feminine. An addition to it can be a tight-fitting dress in black, beige, pink, red, as well as ankle boots with a beige stiletto heel.

  • To everyone who appreciates male style, we advise you to combine a malachite or emerald coat with a plant print, wide black pants, a white shirt and a black wide-brimmed hat... This is a great option for cool autumn weather and warm spring sunshine!

It is worth choosing a cocoon coat exactly in size. After all, this is exactly the case when there should not be excessive volume so as not to look cumbersome. Think before experimenting with layering. Since the cocoon-shaped coat is voluminous, it can give the figure a certain awkwardness.

Another useful advice: if your figure in such clothes looks oversized and wide, pick up a narrow strap and highlight the waist. From such a technique, your cocoon shape will not suffer, but femininity will be very much added. Do not forget that your cocoon-coat will stay in the closet for a long time, you just have to choose tight-fitting accessories, light scarves to demonstrate that there is a fragile and delicate girl under the cocoon!

Who suits such a coat

The feminine and somewhat formless forms of this clothing were immediately appreciated by many girls and women. The cocoon coat is perfect for tall beauties. In addition, the long piece is ideal for a pear-shaped girl. Narrow shoulders will slightly smooth out the splendor of the coat on top, and the narrowed thigh line will look more strict and advantageous. In this version of outerwear, you can feel more comfortable and reliable!

If you have a slim figure, but your height does not allow you to wear a long model, choose options for medium length. The coat should not be large over the shoulders and hips. For women with narrow hips, there is also good news: such clothes will help hide such imperfections.

If you have not yet decided on the purchase of such a thing, study fashion magazines and visually try on a fashionable image. Best of all, the cocoon suits a slender and tall girl, but with the right approach, you can adjust the style for yourself. Fashionable images to you, dear girls!

Amazing modern fashion gives the most unusual forms of familiar outerwear. A fashionable down jacket cocoon for 2019 is presented in many collections of Russian and foreign designers. The brands Zara, Naomi, Odri and Burberry can boast of exquisite and elegant models. All of them use lightweight and very practical materials, unusual cut and design shapes. The cocoon down jacket is not a revolutionary breakthrough in the fashion world - these styles are widespread in dresses, woolen coats and jackets.

However, winter clothing in the form of a cocoon looks no less attractive. What to wear them with is described on this page. Stylish female models, both very short and elongated and long. And here it is worth paying attention to one fact. The longer the cocoon-shaped down jacket, the greater its volume. And on the contrary, cropped models intrigue not with fantastic volume, but with refined details of the cut of the sleeve and collar.

Look at the fashionable female models in the photo and continue the story:


Winter down jacket in the form of a cocoon: model, style and silhouette of comfort (with photo)

Comfort, freedom of movement and thermal insulation are the basic requirements for winter clothing. In a relationship womens fashion there is also a rule of style and conformity fashion trends... The cocoon down jacket model meets all standards, since it creates enough space for freedom of movement, ideally suits the urban cazual style, and with all its democracy can become the main one for any bow. Having a fairly loose fit, it allows you to put on bulky sweaters under the jacket in oversized style... Combines with tight tights, tight skirts and skinny jeans.

The cocoon winter down jacket has one indisputable advantage - it does not create the impression of large volumes. On the contrary, thanks to the unique cut, it emphasizes the fragility of the female figure and thus allows hiding the "fat" so necessary in winter. Look at the cocoon down jacket in the photo, which illustrates the latest trends and presents the latest fashion season from leading winter clothing manufacturers:


The cocoon down jacket style is popular among women and girls of all ages. The only category not recommended for these models is teenagers. They look somewhat ridiculous and even sloppy in similar jackets and coats. For young girls, it is recommended to choose pastel shades: beige, nude, white, pink and powdery. Blue and azure tones will not be hits this season, but rather outsiders.

For women over 40, it is by no means recommended to delve into the depressive shades of autumn and winter. Avoid black, dark gray, brown. The best choice there will be a down jacket in the form of a cocoon of light gray, dark beige or light brown. Also, the option of dark blue and burgundy is not excluded. Some of the similar options are shown in the photo below:


The down jacket of the cocoon silhouette can be presented in various options for cutting its hem. It can be a wide elastic band that protects from cold winds, a tapered fit, side slits, an asymmetrical length and much more. Also pay attention to the clasp. In fashion, metal oblique zipper, Velcro, giving the impression of a complete absence of a fastener, hidden buttons and buttons. Large decorative elements should be absent. This also applies to the shiny buckles of the wide belts.

Choosing a cocoon down jacket: elongated or long, with or without a hood?

We choose suitable model depending on what, where and why we will carry it. In 2019-2019, comfortable and comfortable clothes to be picked up in uniform style... A fashionable elongated cocoon down jacket in 2019 should not be too pretentious and overloaded with decorative elements. You should avoid unnatural flowers, lurid decorative elements and large prints. They add volume and give the impression of a lack of artistic taste. The longest down jacket cocoon cannot be lower than the middle of the lower leg. On the floor, models have not yet been presented to the public, although there is already an active discussion of this trend behind the curtains of fashion catwalks. We'll probably see them next season. At the maximum length, attention is paid to the elegance of the side cut. The line should be as rounded and smooth as possible. No futuristic kinks or unnatural bends needed.

Look at the photo of a cocoon down jacket with a hood and then we will burn out about its expediency:


So, a cocoon down jacket with a hood has a right to exist, but only if this bulky detail is balanced by a harmoniously selected bottom. It is impossible to wear such a thing with wide pants, flared skirts and dress pants. From shoes, you should choose boots, stockings or high boots made of smooth and patent leather.

Basically, models of cocoon-shaped down jackets are presented with voluminous shawl-shaped collars that are fashionable in the 2019 season. A stand-up collar that covers, if necessary, the lower half of the face - this is justified and looks very unusual. Slanting large collars, asymmetry, figurativeness of the cut - all this is very fashionable and can be transformed when creating a casual look.

With what to wear a cocoon down jacket in 2019 (with photo images)

The harmony of an everyday look depends on many details. First of all, it is necessary to correctly select the appropriate silhouette and style of outerwear. What to wear a cocoon down jacket with in 2019-2019 is the second question, the answer to which consists of several parts. Let's consider separately trousers and skirts, shoes and accessories. Look at the photo of what to wear a cocoon down jacket with in the coming winter, and continue the story:


Let's start traditionally with accompanying models of trousers, skirts and leggings. When choosing a bottom, do not forget about the balance of the cut lines. The wider the top, the narrower the bottom. This is the only way to preserve the impression of fragility. Graceful female legs should look out from under a voluminous barrel-shaped down jacket. Fitting leather pants or leggings will help accentuate them. If they are sewn from natural materials, then they have amazing properties keep warm and keep cold air out. This is the perfect match for a similar model for 2019.

They can become a replacement - they allow you to poke under them warm tights and create comfort for entering the snow-covered streets of the city. Preferred colors: black, dark blue, purple and burgundy.

If you touch skirts, then there is an immutable rule: the length to the middle of the knee should be accompanied by a tapered cut. The shape of the skirt should follow the shape of the cocoon down jacket cut. Only in this way can you get a harmonious impression of the harvested bow.

Let's move on to shoes. And there is no consensus among modern stylists. They allow the use of both coarse "army" boots with lacing on a massive platform, and refined. But what a bad luck. All stylists unanimously vote for the fact that the more massive the shoes in combination with the cocoon down jacket, the younger the girl should be. For women over 40 years old, this option is absolutely not applicable and can significantly increase the perception of age by the people around.

Therefore, the advice is this: for the young - whatever you want, for the ladies of Balzac's age - sophistication and elegance. High-heeled stocking boots are suitable for them. Just patent leather boots with high tops will be appropriate. The only way to deviate from this rule is ankle boots, which certainly need a floor-length skirt. And it is rather evening or holiday option onion than everyday.

It is difficult to build an image without accessories, especially in winter, when either mittens, a scarf and a hat are required. And this is the minimum. Accessories also include bags. And now their choice for a cocoon-shaped down jacket is quite difficult. Immediately we discard all laconic small forms. We leave rough backpacks, bulky trunks and fur styles. Carrying a bag with this on your shoulder is not allowed.

Hats should be knitted and matched to match the down jacket model. In 2019, options come into fashion when both a scarf and a hat are combined in one model. These can be capes and stoles, snoods and tube scarves. The choice is yours. They all go well with the silhouette of a cocoon down jacket. Fur hats better to put aside. The choice of gloves depends on the length of the sleeve. If it is ¾, then gloves or mittens should reach to the elbow. And with long sleeves, you can choose any convenient option.
