PIRATE JACKET

Brown suede sweeps into a structured collar and shoulders, slit skirt, and a back that laces up tight with real corset grommets — every seam hidden, every detail contest-ready. Scarlett Johnson walks through McCall’s M6819 with her own additions, including a slick two-color bobbin trick for matching thread to suede and lining and a cleaner method for sandwiching the interfacing. Perfect for the maker who wants a costume piece that holds up through a full convention day and still looks impossibly polished.
