That was my first thought on seeing the pics. And the lapel is a little overwhelming on your frame.

I think it might be nice to make a really stiff, sort of high standing collar if you use some heavy fabric with a lot of body.<br />Do you think the sleeves might be a bit wide... maybe at the elbow? <br />I think you did a great job!!stacyhttp://taffetadarlings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-33513446754024219832010-09-19T21:36:56.304-04:002010-09-19T21:36:56.304-04:00Victoria: You are too sweet.

It's cool you're participating in the sew-along. The coat looks great on you. I didn't participate because the style didn't suit me, but it's great on you. Have fun, can't wait to see the finished product (wink)!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055410123914346485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-18033057927258122412010-09-19T20:54:12.063-04:002010-09-19T20:54:12.063-04:00Kim: Thank you for your feedback!

I'm going to try it and I'll let you know how it goes.<br /><br />Belle: Thanks - I agree with you (see comment above). And I'm going to mini-up the collar (which is really big!)<br /><br />Andrea: Thank you! That muslin post almost had me packing for the hills but it occurred to me it would be cold there :-) Srsly, try not to think about the investment or it will freak you out when actually, doing it is much easier than thinking about it. It goes together quite quickly after the muslin. In total I've prob spent 150 bucks and 20 hours so far. Not negligible - but that's over the last 3 weeks. Today was veritably easy as far as muslin fitting goes. The pattern instructions are very clear and the princess seams give a lot of fit latitude. I'll update my post with some extra info...K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-32850816122667473292010-09-19T20:27:41.876-04:002010-09-19T20:27:41.876-04:00I can't offer you any fitting tips, but with t...I can't offer you any fitting tips, but with the exception of the wonky back everything looks really good. I haven't yet started mine. I was more than a little overwhelmed after reading Gertie's muslin post. All that work for just the muslin? I'm starting to get cold feet.

Also, I agree the the lapel needs to be made slightly smaller.Belle de Villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045827018848979761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-40632236105434209062010-09-19T19:01:19.168-04:002010-09-19T19:01:19.168-04:00I'm horrible at offering fitting advice but I ...I'm horrible at offering fitting advice but I think that either you need a little more room in the hips so the back drops or you might be short waisted and need to pinch out some fabric in your upper back. Take it with a grain of salt...<br /><br />But I do want to say that the coat suits you well even in muslin. I really like the shawl collar on you.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669069576502953258noreply@blogger.com
