Wow! What a fantastic coat. It was totally worth the effort as it is a dead ringer for the inspiration garment. Drafting your own patterns are so worth the time, once you're done. I completely understand why it took you so long, though. It's also a lot of hard work to draft patterns with a lot of decisions to be made.

Leslie - That's one beautiful trench! Nice job - it looks more luscious than the original! The buckle is a nice touch. Thanks for the inspiration concerning an involved project. Well worth the effort and even more helpful that you shared your journey with us! ; )
