Misses 6-18.
This sewing pattern for a traditional Tibetan panel coat, or sleeveless jacket or vest, is made from many panels of often-contrasting fabrics. The coat is usually constructed of simple panels of handwoven wool - rectangular solid color panels alternate with horizontal striped wedge-shaped panels, creating an overlap front opening. It is worn belted or open with a neckband that extends to the hem. Facings are turned to the inside along the front opening, hem, side vents, and armhole. An additional decorative facing is turned to the outside underarm and shoulder area. Instructions for a simple optional lining is provided. This lining eliminates the need to finish the seams.
