Cut out parts of the toile and tried them on Heather today. I will have to upsize it some and she will have to order some additional silk for the borders.
However I had no difficulties getting the side panels, gussets and sleeves to fit, so I have no idea what problem the other pattern reviewer was having.
It is awkward working with a pattern that only uses one layer of fabric. I am so used to fabric being folded when I cut out. I had the back cut out and when to cut out the front when I realized I had cut TWO backs and could use one of them for the front (as they are the same size and shape (except for the neck). Glad I realized it before I got too far.
Now need to completely sew together the outer layer (no lining) and try it again for fit. Hope I have included enough ease for it to be used as a coat.
