Wow, you did a lot of work to get your coat, but it certainly was worth it! It looks terrific. I'm glad to read such a detailed review, because I like the lines of this pattern, and it really is useful to know that it may run significantly large. One note: I bought an unlined, un-interfaced, raw-edged, boiled wool coat almost exactly like this one in France this year--and the nifty thing is that the fabric's body lets you see all those pretty design lines even without the understructure.

Your coat is gorgeous!! I love your style combinations and color choice! Your tips are very helpful to me, as I have this pattern and fabric to make up a shorter version...I just haven't worked up the courage. :) Your perspective is very encouraging--thanks for the review!

Smart idea to work out as many issues as you can with the muslin. The coat is lovely and the color suits you well.

You did an amazing job. Well after 10 projects that all came up too large, my mother who was a seamstress for years said, oh, patterns are always a size too large. So I pick the size on the pattern that closest fits my measurements, usually what every is closest on the rounding down of my measurement s and then go another whole size down. It's worked ever time.

Oh I just bought size 14-22, I hesitated between the two envelopes, I was afraid that the 12 from the other enveloppe would be too tight...I usually also check out the garment's finished measurement, size 14 is 42 1/2 at the bust, is this too much ease if my bust size is 39? I'm going to do a muslin for sure. Thanks for the review. Your coat looks fabulous!

Thank you so much for all the helpful advice. I have this pattern, and a brown wool coating fabric that will likely have the issues you mention, but I love the coat on you & I'm inspired to make it now.
