Lookbook here from the American website, so some of the patterns may not make it to the UK market.

I don't care for



7666 as I think it is rather theatrical and the collar oversized.

I agree UR, that coat just looks a mess.  The hem goes up at the front, the buttons are an eyesore and that collar doesn't sit well at all. In my windy part of the world, the back collar would spend most of its time blown up against the back of my head!
The basic shape is okay though and would suit a slender person.  The flared skirt wouldn't do anything flattering for me and would also get blown around in the wind.

The shape would work for me as I only sew 'fit and flare', but the coat is only fit for pantomime.

Actually I quite like that pattern though I wouldn't have the patience to do the trim and I wouldn't be able to find buttons like that. I was surprised to see that there were a few patterns I liked in McCalls new patterns.
