The Makings of a Couture Silk Jacket | Pad Stitching & Structure (Part 1)

✨ THE MAKINGS OF A COUTURE SILK JACKET ✨ A three month venture, I take you inside the world of luxury couture as I sew an exquisite silk jacket using Italian silk faille—sourced from Paris—fully backed with wool canvas, felt, and precision pad stitching. Every stitch is a step closer to couture perfection! This jacket is built on hand-recreated Italian Pagoda shoulder pads (crafted in a previous video), adding elegance and structure. With built-in bust cups, sculpted cutouts, and a feminine take on the classic peaked lapel, this design is a nod to the iconic “Dior Bar Jacket”—but with my unique couture twist! 🔥 Stay tuned for Part 2, where I’ll reveal the art of hand-sewn buttonholes by a Master Tailor! 🔥 💡 WATCH & SHOP THE LOOK: ➡️ Pagoda Shoulder Pads Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv_i0KPJ4xE ➡️ Pagoda Shoulder Pads PDF Pattern: https://eliascouture.com/store/nvi5lpuxpk9sag0l4mcpb00l8bcs4o ➡️ Pagoda Shoulder Pads Assembly Guide: https://eliascouture.com/pattern-instructions ➡️ Peaked Lapel Jacket PDF Pattern: https://eliascouture.com/store/unlined-peaked-collar-jacket-sewing-pattern 👗 JOIN MY YOUTUBE PREMIER MEMBERS MEETINGS: https://www.youtube.com/@UCN0B3kKraFuR0BX2KVp1x_A 💌 CONNECT WITH ME: 📧 Email: eliascouture@gmail.com 🌎 Website: https://eliascouture.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susaneliascouture/ #CoutureSewing #SilkJacket #DiorInspired #LuxuryFashion #HandmadeCouture
