Pockets 2-4 were a breeze. However, instructions are getting sparser as I'm progressing. They're effectively non-existent for attaching the lining.

I spent a day interfacing stuff and half a day to make one (out of 4!) welt pockets.

I know, right? I don't know how I manage to stay motivated! Maybe having done a toile helps, because I know it'll fit at the end.

Have traced all 29 pattern pieces and altered 11 of them. Made all pockets bigger!

I don't want to, but I've never regretted doing it!

I made 2 toiles. The 1st according to the pattern, the 2nd with lengthened bodice, lengthened sleeves, narrow shoulder adjustment, and round back adjustments.
The 2nd toile fit a lot better but I did a small FBA as the whole thing swung to the front a bit. Not toiling again - hoping for the best!

Making the Trenchcoat view.
Outer fabric is a brick red wind- and rainproof nylon cotton blend (70/30), 150 GSM.
Lining either the checked brushed cotton (125 GSM) or the paisley poplin (feels lighter).
Pearl buttons.
Sleeves feel be lined in a slippy viscose lining fabric.
