joliecheval: Instead of basting the seam binding I pinned in. Then on the other side I made sure to stay inside of the furthest sliver of silver, :). Sorry I didn't take a pic of the other side!

joliecheval: The finished product! Not perfect but still pretty good. I made a vogue size 16, measure 38" bust, 30" waist, and 40" hips. I didn't make any pattern adjustments but plan on "tightening" the belt to bring in the waist.
joliecheval: So I've got my coat together (yay!) but this puckering in the upper back is bugging me, is there anything I can do? I've thought about re-doing the seam binding outside stitch...
joliecheval: The Ralph Rucci original followed by the Vogue 1419 then mine, :).
joliecheval: I made the pockets! My welt pockets always pucker a little no matter what I do but still pretty proud, :). Just the seam binding left.
joliecheval: My seam binding is a little messy but hidden by the loudness of the print, ;). This by far is the most time consuming step!
joliecheval: Coloring is way off in this photo but overall I like the fit, definitely some room left for a bulky sweater if desired, :).
joliecheval: This is the underlining side. Got most of the puckering out of the collar and overall fit is pretty good.
joliecheval: These are my muslin prototype. One photo shows the weird triangle under sleeve I had some trouble with but resolved. I'm a DD, so I chose to go up one size to match my bust and take in the waist a little.
