  I admire you for making your own adaptation of this, the old “patterns” are so interesting! I have been working on drafting my own (from an 1830’s instruction), but gave up back at the beginning of the year because I kept getting so frustrated with it. I need to get back to work on it. I love the way this turned out, it looks great!

  Nice one! :) But there is still missing the more length in the front parts :-D I’am sorry, don’t mean it any harm! but the length is an eyecather because of the seam, that goes arround the waist. And as you can see, it lifts up in the middle of your tummy.

  Kind regards, adoring your style, Basti

    Thanks so much. I certainly appreciate constructive criticism and now understand what you are are saying. I will lengthen the front BODY panels. Thanks so much for pointing this out because NOW it seems so obviously an error. Best wishes and kind regards, Don

  Ooh, this coat reminds me of the one Captain Jack Harkness wears in Torchwood. ;) It looks very dashing. Well done!

    That was the first thing I thought, too. :)

    Thanks so much. Indeed it does look like his coat- maybe I will do epaulets on the next one.

    If you do put epaulets on the next one, be sure to give me a heads up when you post it on BurdaStyle. :)

  i like this version better as well, as it is a more rigid and clearer line! i admire your work, as you know, and have to tell you again: i would finde out of a hundred designes, the things, you have done, and that is something so special!

  This version is better.. ;p Maybe it is the wool, it looks like it has a better weight for a coat. The new style lines work on this. Great! :D

    Thanks so much. There seems to be plenty of different weight wool crepe- a slight change can make a world of difference.
