I am thinking of making a coat and was going through my collected files and found a short article by Gayle Taylor titled Fitting Myth #1. It talks about center front-opening garments that gape open when walking.

While she doesn't exactly give a solution she talks about what can cause it and blasts the "experts" who tell you to cut the CF off-grain. I think this may be from a Robbie Fanning or Gail Brown publication from the 80's or early 90's?? Google says there is a company in Houston by that name, but I can find nothing else.

Does anyone know more about her or if she ever published a book? (My files go back a LONG way and now I know to put the source on articles like this)
