Like Paul Poiret’s capacious cocoon coats of the 1910s, this James design is meant to wrap around the wearer, completely concealing her figure. Constructed with exaggerated raglan sleeves and a center back seam but no side seams, the coat is draped to create a deep dolman and to taper to the hem

The Dolman Coat is based on a woven kimono block and the dolman feature is specific to the drape in the underarm area that reaches from the hem of the coat to the wrist.
