See below for 2 reviews of this pattern:
'I am a freelance costume designer and I purchased this pattern a while back for a 1920's show I was designing. The instructions were so easy to follow that a student was able to put it together. The coat looked wonderful. Beautiful pattern!'
"I highly recommend this pattern. It was my first coat and I was a bit hesitant, however, I read the review that said a student made it easily, and I found that it did go together well. The measurements and fabric requirements are accurate. The pieces fit together very well. I made a muslin first and adjusted the pattern to fit my smaller 34" bust, and I shortened the sleeves. The sleeves were the best part of making this coat. They fit in the armhole perfectly! No ease needed at all. I think they were the easiest sleeves I have ever set in. I made the coat with a drapery weight velvet jacquard and it made up beautifully. I added shoulder pads to give the shoulder line the right touch of structure. This was a wonderful pattern and I will make it again in a lighter weight fabric."
