'1950s Car' Raincoat

Before I write this post, I must confess to knowing absolutely nothing about cars of any sort. But I recently saw a photograph of a place I knew as it was in 1950, and the cars looked different enough to really stand out to me.

This design took quite a long time as it was difficult to create the right reflection on the plastic of the raincoat. The raincoat is flared, has a wide collar and slim, straight sleeves. It has white edging around the corners of the coat, an off-white belt and white button feature on the shoulders. The raincoat is knee-length and would fasten with snaps.

I hope you liked this design, it is part of my 'Designs Inspired by History' project. For more designs check back here next week or visit my special-occasion-wear blog at www.bronzedalebridaldesigns.blogspot.co.uk
