Second coat toile!

So here is my second toile for the coat. I did the godet panels and bust dart in a contrasting fabric to see the effect and I think it'll work! It took so long to make the toile as all the pieces are asymmetric so each piece had to be cut one by one. Then you've got all the several panels to sew! thankfully the fit was fine..but the sleeves were not so good :s! The sleeve head, for some reason, flops down which maybe due to excess fabric. I'll therefore need to re toile the sleeve. I'll also need to increase the front plackett as currently it is not wide enough to conceal the visibility of the zip.








I've also got the fabrics!


Very expensive but will be worth it! The darker fabric will be the godet and dart panels and the middle one will be the main fabric (both wools). The fabric on the right is the lining (silk).
