I have to confess to a long time obsession with the yellow swing coat Cate Blanchett wears in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". There's something about the color and the way the coat swirls around her that caught my attention and has stuck with me ever since the first time I saw the movie.
I've been on the hunt for a similar coat ever since. There are no pictures of it online, but here is the clip from the movie:
Seeing the movie on TV again last week has renewed my desire to track down a similar coat or make one myself..then, as luck would have it, I got an email about McCall's fall pattern offerings, and wouldn't you know it THIS gem was included:
McCalls M6446
Pretty similar, right? A few modifications and I think I can get pretty close to the swing jacket! Now I just need to find the right material...
