@UttaRetch I don’t know why I’ve hesitated making this up as I love the style and fabric and it’s got such good reviews. I love the detail on the back and the contrasting lining of yours. I’m afraid I’m a little conservative with lining and always seem to go with matching!
The main thing that’s putting me off is the lack of structure as there seems to be little interfacing and “tailoring” and I’ve chosen quite a heavyweight wool, which needs some tailoring.
Since cutting out I’ve bought a Craftsy course by Alison Smith and made a speed tailored coat. I messaged her through the course and asked her about this coat. She said she has made the coat and explained what interfacing it needed, so I’m going to have a go.
