Part 1 Piccolas by Anagrassia’s “Frontier” Fall Collection: The Kid’s Sports Jacket

Handmade High End Designer Wool Cashmere Tailored Cape Coat Jacket & Leather with Plaid Tartan Skirts Dresses with Ukrainian hand embroidered couture blouses

It’s offi­cial­ly fall in North­ern Indi­ana. Our warm sum­mer nights have tran­si­tioned into crisp cool days. The leaves have lost their vibrant greens and tak­en on a myr­i­ad of amber, gold­en and crim­son hues. A few remain, cling­ing to trees, but most are blan­ket­ing the ground where they’ve fall­en, just wait­ing for an eager child to rake them into piles for jumping. And right down the street, in a shop...

Burdastyle Wool Navy High Neck Cape with Gold Irish Buttons

Handmade Anagrassia long Navy Wool Tailored Cape Coat Jacket with high collar and gold irish buttons. Notre dame football tailgates. Burdastyle sewing pattern.

Here is anoth­er adult cape I made this season. This cape was made with 100% wool and gold Irish buttons. I used Bur­dastyle’s 9/2015 #115 sewing pattern. The only change I made to the pat­tern were the place­ments of buttons/buttonholes. I also hand-stitched all the edges/hems of the cloak, instead of adding piping/bias tape trim. This cape is very warm and per­fect for Notre Dame foot­ball tail­gates & games in the fall!...

Tan Wool Cashmere Tailored Cape with Lapels & Collar

Handmade Anagrassia Tan Camel Beige Champagne Wool Cashmere Tailored Cape Coat Jacket with beautiful English Rayon. Created with pockets, lapels, slit & collar

This fall & hol­i­day was the sea­son of capes! I made lots of them!  (I will post more pho­tos of capes on the blog soon.) Here is one of the adults capes, which I made for my sis­ter. She chose the Bur­dastyle pat­tern (8/2014 #124) and tan (almost cham­pagne) wool cashmere. It’s a tai­lored cape, so I used bespoke tai­lor­ing tech­niques for the lapels. The com­bi­na­tion of soft, thick, and (some­what)...

Michael’s Pink and Gray Formal Vest for Graduation & Birthday

“Thanks to the girls in his life, this dash­ing young man looked sharp for his 8th grade graduation!”   I love menswear! When I was approached to make my brother’s grad­u­a­tion vest, I was more than hap­py to accept the ‘order!’ My broth­er is pret­ty thick for his age so it’s hard enough for him to find clothes that fit, let alone clothes that fit & are fash­ion­able. For­tu­nate­ly, he...

Le Velvet Smoking Jacket: Gomez Addams & Chirp Thing

Black Maroon Velvet Smoking Jacket Gomez Addams Family Lace Dress

We all know the most inter­est­ing man in the world drinks Dos Equis, but do you know what he wears? It’s a shame smok­ing jack­ets are no longer pop­u­lar and rarely seen on men today. These mid thigh-length vel­vet & silk robes are bad ass!  Just imag­ine how lux­u­ri­ous & relax­ing life would be if men wore smok­ing jack­ets dur­ing their morn­ing cof­fee or evening read­ing by the fire. Per­haps,...
