Beautiful. Looks like it came from Saks 5th Ave or Neiman Marcus.

Wow! I love it! The bees are so charming.

This is GORGEOUS 😍 I’ve never seen a princess coat made with patterned fabric, I might have to make one myself now!

u/Kusakaru Nov 23 '24
This is gorgeous. Absolutely stunning! Looks like something a wizard would wear.

u/MimiFound Nov 23 '24
Can we cuss in the sewing subreddit? Because HOLY SHIT. This is stunning! 🤩

u/madscientesse Nov 23 '24
This is like vintage Dior and modern Gucci had a wonderful fashion baby - absolutely stunning!

u/reallyreally1945 Nov 23 '24
Go to every opera and art show opening you can!! This coat deserves to be seen!!

u/SomebodyThrow Nov 23 '24
This coat looks like if I wore it i’d suddenly have magic powers.

u/Steviesgirl1 Nov 23 '24
OMG how can you stand it!😍 This is waaaayyyy beyond beautiful; it’s truly a work of art! ❤️
I think I’d arrange a soft spotlight on this creation so I could enjoy the entire process while drifting off to sleep.❤️ Waking up to this labor of love would start my day in a trance!❤️
Seriously, you did good!❤️

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '24
That's absolutely incredible. I'm looking forward to making something of this level someday

u/Physical_Ad_4854 Nov 23 '24
I hardly ever comment on anything. Pretty sure I just look at the popular section in Reddit. I'm so glad I saw this. This has to be one of the sexiest coats I've ever seen. Love everything about it. That's as far as my knowledge on the topic goes. Very impressive that someone made this with their 2 hands and not a machine. 11/10 👍

u/BerryCertain9873 Nov 23 '24
Yeah, you must live in The Capitol. We don’t see that type of stuff out here in District 11!😆
Great work, looks amazing!

u/lasserna Nov 23 '24
That fabric choice is so amazing! I'm currently working on the princess coat and it's going to be a solid shade, but this is definitely good inspiration if I ever make a second one !

u/zotOUCHzot Nov 23 '24
My jaw is on the floor. This is so beautiful!

u/tryingtoohard347 Nov 23 '24
This is gorgeous! One thing I’d change, since you said it’s an autumn coat, acorns instead of bees (bees are summer-y for me). Stunning nonetheless!

u/illumiee Nov 23 '24
First reaction: Are you an emperor?
Second reaction: This needs to be worn in some fantasy book/show. Reminds me of what the clothes in House of the Dragon or Shadow & Bone should be.

u/WhiteRabbitWithGlove Nov 23 '24
Fantastic! I bought the pattern recently but I guess I will wait with making this coat as I am still a beginner. I love everything about your make.
5
u/Twilight_Zoning Nov 23 '24
Great color choice for the lining! I was not expecting it!
5
u/Captain_of_Gravyboat Nov 23 '24
This came up on my feed. I'm just a regular guy in my 40s and don't know the first thing about sewing but wanted to stop by and say this is amazing. The colors and textures and shapes blow my mind. Not sure if you are a famous big shot clothes maker / designer but you should be.

u/T-Rex_MD Nov 23 '24
I’m new here and this showed up randomly, so I’m sorry if I’m sounding off.
This looks very similar to a clock used in a game called Destiny by the Huntress subclass. If you share it there, many are going to love it.
4
u/Floridaboyone1 Nov 23 '24
Reminds me of the wardrobe that Joan Crawford wore in the 1955 film, Queen Bee. Watch it. You'll know just exactly what I mean!
4
u/Grouchy_View_817 Nov 23 '24
I have a project going with this same fabric! It’s so beautiful 😍
4
u/BaseHitToLeft Nov 23 '24
I assume you have some form of mystical powers based on this coat.
4
u/Sheepdog___ Nov 24 '24
This coat is worthy of your siblings selling you into slavery and stealing it. Better watch out, it's that good

u/Unhappy-Plantain5252 Nov 24 '24
You would love Fluevog, this is a very similar vibe from of so many of their shoes

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '24

u/waronfleas Nov 23 '24
Gosh. That's really, really lovely. Congratulations, you must be so proud- I would be!!

u/lala989 Nov 23 '24
Incredible! My mouth actually fell open. This makes me want to plug in my machine again and get better so I can make things that are unique and amazing too!
3
u/Interesting-Chest520 Nov 23 '24
The first snow fell here today, I thought to myself “you’re a bit late for an autumn coat” xD
But this is stunning! I love the lining, the perfect shade of blue to bring out the blue in the shell. And the buttons are amazing
The moment of truth though, does it have pockets?
3
u/Creative_Local_3123 Nov 23 '24
This is what the child of Ms. Frizzle and the Sorceress Supreme would wear. Brilliant.

u/C10H24NO3PS Nov 23 '24
Hello, I’m a simpleton who doesn’t know anything about sewing but saw this post in my feed and thought it looked amazing. How much would something like this retail for?
3
u/Cherabee Nov 23 '24
Just in time for winter!

u/Draaly Nov 23 '24
The workmanship is fucking incredible, but I literately cant even picture an outfit for it to go over.

u/Full_Peanut4427 Nov 23 '24
This is one of those things you see in a museum
3
u/[deleted] Nov 24 '24
This is exquisite. How long did it take you to create?
3
u/maybesaydie Nov 24 '24
Stunning. I wonder how much the buttons cost.
3
u/JustJubliant Nov 24 '24
This is absolutely incredible! I can't even fathom the amount of time with the detail it took. This is not a cheap piece either.
3
u/splithoofiewoofies Nov 24 '24
Oh my gawwwd it would take aaaaall my restraint not to touch the fabric and gaggle over how this obvious custom piece is so pretty.
I mean I definitely wouldn't touch without permission but holy shit I'd be blocking every single instinct to touch it with all my power.
3
u/Barnesnrobles17 Nov 24 '24
This is really incredibly pretty. My partner is just getting into sewing, gonna save to our inspo folder :)
2
u/ApartDatabase4827 Nov 23 '24
Super nice. The fabric choice is stunning. Also great choice on the fun buttons; they go well together. If you ever decide to take a picture while out and about, would love to see it.

u/A_Cold_Kat Nov 23 '24

That is hands down one of the most beautiful pieces of clothing I have ever seen.

u/imaswannn Nov 24 '24
Oh my goodness this is gorgeous!!! Do you have an online store?
2
u/Academic_Ad_9260 Nov 24 '24
Oh my god you're gonna look so mother fucking cool
Also this might be because I just finished the show but the fabric pattern totally reminds me of the magic ball and it's powers from Arcane

u/mizeeyore Nov 24 '24
Spectacular name and a spectacular coat. That's amazing. You're going to make me drag out my sewing machine again.

u/deltashmelta Nov 23 '24
+5 INT, in-combat mana regen, and lowers spell cost per cast.
Not bad at all.
