Santa Fe, New Mexico 2015 Proceedings The Ulster Coat Reborn: A Versatile Coatdress Mikyoung Whang, Centenary College, USA Keywords: versatile design, sustainable design, the Ulster coat, coatdress A sustainability concept of “Design Light” is achieved by creating multifunctional garments. With a product that performs multiple functions, we can do more with less and leave less environmental footprints (Fletcher, 2008). In the “Shades of Scenery” series, my goal was to create versatile garments using sustainable strategies (Whang & Haar, 2009; Whang, 2012). For this project I utilized the “Design Light” concept to create a versatile coatdress for career women. This coatdress can be worn with multiple options; the cape can be worn outside for function or for a dramatic look, and, the underdress can be worn at work with or without the belt and/or the rose corsage brooch. The modern coatdress first emerged in the 1910s and was suggested that it could be worn over waistcoats or underdresses (Cumming, Cunnington, & Cunnington, 2010). It is often recommended for those wishing to portray a professional look. The dress incorporates design elements from the Ulster coat. The Ulster coat is a long belted coat made with removable cape, worn by women and men in the Victorian era (Tortora & Eubank, 2010). To achieve a rhythmic and unified look, a high-low flared cape and knee-length A-line dress were draped. The Peter Pan collar and the exaggerated bishop sleeves were added for an elegant and nostalgic look. The garment was made with burgundy floral polyester brocade, and linings for the dress (100% cotton) and the cape (100% Dupioni silk) dyed in a natural dyestuff (Cutch). Cutch produces light to dark reddish brown or gold brown tone depending on mordanting and percentage method of weighting the dyestuffs. After a few experiments, the best result was achieved by dyeing the Page 1 of 2 © 2015, International Textile and Apparel Association, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ITAA Proceedings, #72 – www.itaaonline.org 2015 Proceedings Santa Fe, New Mexico lining fabrics in the exhaust dye bath with 2% of the Cutch and 1 % of aluminum potassium sulfate mordant. The dress was cut on the bias to achieve a slinky A-line with fisheye darts at the waist and side darts at the bust. The desired fullness for the exaggerated bishop sleeve was achieved using slash-spread technique based on the basic bishop sleeve. To make the cape detachable, ties and eight elastic loops were inserted around the neckline of the cape, and buttons were attached to the neckline of the dress. Finally, the belt and the brooch were made with the self-fabric. The corsage brooch was intentionally left with rough cut on the edges to give it a rustic look. This original design contributes to the field of textiles and apparel by exemplifying the sustainable design concept to create a versatile garment. This design is also unique in adapting the historical garment, the Ulster coat, to develop a modern look for those women who want a professional yet bold look. In addition, the garment can be used in a historic costume class to illustrate how designs of the past can be used as an inspiration for modern fashion.

DRAFTING COLLARS ADJUSTMENT FOR PETER PAN COLLAR Collars can also be drafted from scratch and added to your blouse and dress patterns. My favorite vintage-style collar is the Peter Pan collar, which I incorporated into the blouse variation on page 160. It can be added to any blouse, jacket, or dress with a round neckline, and it will make the most basic garment ooze charm! Depending on how you style a Peter Pan collar, it can look ladylike or playful, 1930s glam or 1960s mod. Once you understand the basics of making a Peter Pan collar, you can apply this knowledge to any shape or size collar you like. For the purpose A. Overlap shoulder seams. of this little design project, let’s use a 1940s button-back blouse as our base. The basic premise of drafting a collar like this is that you use the neckline of your garment as your guide—the basic shape of your collar is right there! So start by laying out your blouse front and back pattern pieces on a table. Use a colored pencil to draw in the neckline and shoulder seam lines on your pattern pieces.

At his Howard Street studio Thursday afternoon, as he was in the midst of WWD fi ttings, he was excited but admittedly tired. “It’s been a superexciting week because [the Kering deal] was all coming together and the collection came in,” said Altuzarra, wearing a T-shirt and camoufl age pants, as Vanessa Traina and various design assistants went through the racks of the spring collection. The designer declined to disclose Kering’s percent- age interest in his company, but emphasized that “it was very important for me to keep [Kering] a minority stake at this point and for us to keep control of Altuzarra. They were incredibly supportive of that decision and Building really understanding of it, and that was also very rare.” “We are delighted to invest in Altuzarra to ac- company the development of this promising fash- ion house,” said Alexis Babeau, managing director, Kering Luxury division.
