About BurdaStyle coat 116:
“This multi-faceted classic includes a full-length shawl collar and deep set-in sleeves. It is a great choice for every closet. The open front comes together with the tying belt that allows it to be worn close to the body, loosely drawn or fully open.”
Hope you’ll like the video and are encouraged to sew your own!
