As I was using Melton Wool for a winter coat I wanted it to be roomy and over-sized so went with the recommended size 14. I have tried on the 10 and 12 in the shop in Rye and if I was making a linen coat and wanted a neater fit I would go with the smaller size.
The pattern came together really well…had a couple of head scratching moments but easily worked out. I left off the pocket flaps and in seam pockets on this version. Lined it in vintage cotton.
I will definitely use this pattern again. It’s my ideal coat.
