Note	Made this coat for myself. The fabric is acetat, no lining. I made a maxi version (out of the same fabric I also made a wide skirt and a waistcoat). In order not to loose the ornamented side, I made the hem of the coat horizontal. I made use of only one drawstring, + only one at the sleeves as an extra. I intended to use the ornamental part as the hem of the sleeves, but ran out of it, so I did create the collar with it. Made the front facing wider, as these are always too narrow at Lekala. No hooks nor eyes, but instead of these I made welted buttonholes + buttons. Made a handstitched hem. It is an easy and straightforward pattern with no issues. As my BBF was also so fond of this coat, I also made one for her, but in a very different version. (Yet to be listed as this one is not finished yet.
