Vogue V1717, Chanel-style outfit!

27/2/2021

Some sewing patterns are 'styled' in such a way that the sewing patterns are suitable for regular jackets and typical 'Chanel-style' jacket. But some sewing patterns are clearly: wow, a real Chanel jacket! We are talking about  V1717 from Vogue! This is a sewing pattern for a jacket, a longer jacket, trousers and a wrap skirt. And all in the perfect Chanel-style!
Vogue V1717
Vogue V1717 is published by Vogue and no special deisgner is mentioned on it, as it is usually the case. The front page shows a complete outfit with one jacket in two different variations (in lengths), pants and a skirt. These are all made of Houndstooth tweed fabric. The outfit has a typical Chanellook with many Chanel details. We love it!

Picture
Sewing level:
The sewing level indicated is: medium. We agree. The sewing pattern is not terribly difficult, but an absolute beginner could use some extra text and explanation. It requires no special couture technical skills. The only tricky part: making buttonholes in thick tweed fabric and the zipper and pockets in the pants.

Fabrics:
The recommended fabrics are: wool, wool mixes and for the pants: wool crepe, garbadine or twill. We used a Bouclé fabric for the jacket. This can be done but is not easy in terms of buttonholes and collar. Tip: use large sturdy buttons and (if you can) make bounded buttonholes. This is quite an extra job but it will give a much better (couture-)results!

Picture
Pros:
  • The sewing pattern is not very difficult
  • The sewing pattern offers many variations in terms of combinations. You can wear the long jacket on the pants but also on the skirt. This will give a festive look. Conversely, you can wear the pants under the shorter and long jacket.
  • The colors are also nice for variations.
  • And we really like the pants in the Pied-de-poule fabric!
  • Model B, the longer jacket, can also be worn as an outer jacket Super "Chanel" look!
  • Model B will make you look taller and slimmer.

Cons:
  • The jackets are both very straightforward. Shapeless and 'boxy'. This could be a nice sjape, but keep in mind that this does not look good with every figure.
  • The woolen fabrics make this a typical winter combination.

Advanced options:
If possible: try to make some waist/shape in the jackets. This takes away the 'boxy' shape, as the Chanel jacket was once made, but will still look better.
Choose good lining material so that the jackets are comfortable to wear. You may also choose to use lining for the pants so that they will not itch.

Picture
Summarized:
Vogue V1717 is a sewing pattern for a great outfit in real Chanellook. The garments are fairly easy to sew. We do recommend going for bounded buttonholes, or buttons for decoration and with push buttons at the back.

Model B will make you look taller and slimmer.

We would also like to point out the choice of lining fabrics: choose a fine fabric (silk or cupro silk) so that the entire outfit is comfortable to wear.
