Vogue V9095: super cute!

25/7/2020

 
In Dutch
Picture
Vogue V9095, like Vogue V7975, seems a bit outdated because of the frontpage of the sewing pattern. The drawings are drawn in a style that no longer fits today. Nevertheless, we would like to point out this fine pattern that is very suitable for making a Chanel-Style jacket. The pattern is an excellent base to make a Chanel-Style jacket that is super cute.

Vogue V9095
The vogue pattern is a lined jacket pattern in three different variations. The jacket is enclosed by bands and has princess lines. The sewing pattern is available in two different sizes. Make sure you order the right one!

Easy peasy?
The pattern is labeled "Vogue EASY". However, we believe that it takes experience to get the bands right. (and the welt-pockets!) The instructions are clear, but it remains a challenge. Just ask an experienced seamstress for help, then it is certainly fun to work with this sewing pattern.

Recommended fabrics
The fabrics that are recommended to use are: Garbadine, Crepe, Shantung. And for the contrasting bands: Lace, Eyelets, Novelty sheers.

We have made the jacket in two variations. As above with a wool fabric. This was pleasant work and easy to do. Note, however, that diagonal lines or checkered patterns are rarely advised. This is mainly because it is a huge job to get the 'pattern' exactly so that the lines of the front pieces merge. However, by placing the contrasting bands in a different angle, it is not noticeable that it does not fit 100% in terms of lines.
Either way, choosing a plain fabric is a lot easier.

We made the second jacket in black fabric and decorated it with a golden trims. The Garbadine fabric works very pleasant and is highly recommended. Splendissima shows the black jacket and has styled it with a belt around them. This looks even more stylish because the shape is a bit straightforward. A tighter dress or shirt underneath is recommended.

Pros:
  • The sewing pattern is timeless and completely in the spirit of Coco Chanel
  • The jacket is comfortable ánd chic
  • The bands offer endless possibilities to work with contrasting fabrics, color variations or playful creative ideas.
  • The jacket offers a challenge: try to make the lining so beautiful that the jacket can also be worn inside out! As Coco Chanel once said, a garment must be perfectly finished both on the inside and the outside.

A bit negatives:
  • Again we doubt whether this is a real "Easy". Once you know how the construction of the bands works, then ... but in the beginning it will still be a bit of a puzzle and you need sewing experience
  • Also 'welt pockets' are never easy for a beginner
  • The recommended fabrics should be more than just garbadine, crepe and shatung. It could be easily tweeds, linen and lighter wools as well.
  • It would also have been nice to see an example of the well-known Chanel-Style: a white jacket with black belts .... A missed opportunity.

Summarized:
Vogue V9095 is an ideal sewing pattern to make the Chanel-Style jacket. The pattern is based on the 'boxy-like' original Chanel jacket with bands.  The lining also offers the opportunity to really make it into a Haute Couture jacket that is perfectly finished both on the inside and on the outside.
The Chanel-Style jacket is very cute. And in terms of styling you can go in all directions: from super modern to timeless or vintage.
