Notes Wool fashion fabric and cotton/silk sateen for lining. I chose red piping.

I made a muslin and it fitted me better than usual. But still, I had to make FBA, shorten shoulders and change the dart a bit. I like the dart being placed on the shoulder so I keep it there.
The sleeves are shorter, so I prolonged them to the common lenght. Not so fashionable, but we have cold winters ;)

As I didn´t have enought fabric, the cuffes are cut in oppositie direction. The sleeve heads look better on me then on the figurine.

I added loops as I plan to wear the coat with a belt.

I made it traditionally, mostly by hand.
