See below for 2 reviews of this pattern:
'I am a freelance costume designer and I purchased this pattern a while back for a 1920's show I was designing. The instructions were so easy to follow that a student was able to put it together. The coat looked wonderful. Beautiful pattern!'
"I highly recommend this pattern. It was my first coat and I was a bit hesitant, however, I read the review that said a student made it easily, and I found that it did go together well. The measurements and fabric requirements are accurate. The pieces fit together very well. I made a muslin first and adjusted the pattern to fit my smaller 34" bust, and I shortened the sleeves. The sleeves were the best part of making this coat. They fit in the armhole perfectly! No ease needed at all. I think they were the easiest sleeves I have ever set in. I made the coat with a drapery weight velvet jacquard and it made up beautifully. I added shoulder pads to give the shoulder line the right touch of structure. This was a wonderful pattern and I will make it again in a lighter weight fabric."

**PLEASE KEEP IN MIND**
This is an exact copy of the original vintage pattern and as such may retain any original errors or miscalculations in formatting native to the original pattern. While I have made up some of these patterns, I have not tested them all out and cannot attest to their accuracy or perfect fit. As with all garment construction, it is best to make a mock-up for fitting in test fabric prior to cutting and constructing with your final fashion fabric.
