Description
I love my new jacket!
The pattern was basically painless. Pleats: fun, gathering: fun, easy lining: awesome, no zipper: hell yes! The fit was a bit large as usual, but that is fine because I do intend on making a belt at some point.
And unfortunately, the back pleat looks a little vaggy. (See last photo)
PS: This pattern does not specify which pieces to interface. I just did the collar parts, and I was going to do the cuffs as well, but got too excited and completely forgot.
Material Notes
Olive twill, polyester lining, buttons!

wow… I love the fact that you put in little details ( the design for your inner lining.) looks pretty sweet and a great staple for Fall/ Spring =)

I can’t believe you are the first person to make this coat! I love it. You are not the first person to mention the lack of instructions about where to place interfacing, and I updated the instructions a while back.
Hint: When you see technical images of pattern pieces that have little black dots on them, as image “A” has pictured below, it means they require interfacing:

Oh hahaha I get it. At first when I read it, I thought it was a typo and should have said “baggy” but now I totally get what she means.
Apr 15, 2010, 08.26 PMby pinksalamander
Ah now you’ve worried me! Maybe it was supposed to be baggy, but it is also quite vaggy…

I know… I totally died!
FWIW; to combat the va-jay-jay look, one could use bullet tacks to give that pleat structure. Bullet tacks are basically where you edge stitch through the edge of the fold of the inside of the pleat ensuring that the inside fold keeps it’s fold line precise. It’s totally invisible and makes pressing the pleats muc easier.

Wow, wow, wow! LOVE! This is so gorgeous. I loved the pattern as soon as I saw it but now seeing your version I am totally infatuated. What are your tips for fixing the back pleat?
Apr 15, 2010, 10.06 AMby Zyanya Walker
very very nice. this is much nicer (or maybe just more my style) than the burdastyle version :) the lining looks great too. the style is nice, i never noticed before.

I’m such a fan of this trench! It looks great!

This is so beautiful, the colour and the cut – feminine with a great military-type edge. Little bit jealous, I won’t lie!

I love it with more of an Empire waist. Gorgeous job.
Apr 13, 2010, 06.35 AMby julietta
This looks so great on you! The lining is so cute and I like it accessorized with the belt.
Apr 12, 2010, 11.50 PMby oddoneout
This is such a nice colour! And the lining is the cutest! I’m a sucker for a cute trench coat :)
