The denim austin coat feels like a coat straight out of the suffragette 1900's.
It has been designed to have a high waisted fitted bodice so that you can wear it over dresses or skirts in an ultra feminine way. It features a small belt at the back secured with buttons that give the back of the coat detail and it also has contrast hand stitching outlining these details. This coat is fairly long in length so it will be a good choice for elegance or for warmth.

Behind the design
Denim especially denim with stretch like this one, is such a versatile fabric. So good for pants and jackets but also great for unexpected choices like dresses. The black charcoal denim has a clean smooth feel of a denim that has just been machined. Megan loves the new, straight off the shelf feeling it has and decided to create a number of styles that could be utilised for work or play.
She has added contrasting natural coloured hand stitching in strategic places on many of the denim styles. The suffragette historical period of clothing has influenced Megan greatly because it is both womanly and very functional. this coat reflects that in a number of ways. It has a lapel collar, long sleeves and swing in the skirt. The shapeliness of the style comes from princess line shaping which is particularly good for those who want to elongate their figure.
