Coat in the making

Working on my overcoat to make ure I have it ready for La Boissière-Ecole. It's nearly finished, just need to do both rows of buttons on the front still.

Quite pleased with the result so far, it's a relief making something that does not have to fit close to the body for a change...

 

 

Looking at the photos I will need to check the cuve at the bottom once all the buttons are in, looks to me like the sides are a touch too low relative to the front.

Also, I'm not 100% happy with the way the back buttons up, but that may improve once it's had the time to fully fall into place.
