This is a DIGITAL sewing pattern for a Ladies jacket, worn around 1876.

This kind of jacket, the Paletot, became fashionable in the middle of the 19th century. Shorter than a coat, but longer than a jacket, the Paletot followed the shape of fashion, with flaring skirts over a crinoline dress in the middle of the century, later with a straight front and a peplum at the back over a bustle dress.
This paletot pattern is based on a model of “Der Bazar” from 1876. The jacket has a peplum at the back to fit over a bustle, decorated with a bow made from velvet. It has a straight front, closed edge to edge with hooks and eyes and a placket underneath, a hidden waistband ensures a tight fit at the back. The wide stand-up collar is cut in one piece with the front panels and decorated with triangles from velvet as well as the sleeve cuffs. The sleeves are wide, a bit baggy at the elbow as usual at the time. The shoulder seam is moved to the back, featuring a wide and sloping shoulder line without any padding, the sleeves are inserted with little ease into the armhole.

Can be worn with or without a corset and bustle.
Also suitable for cosplay or steampunk costumes.
