A new coat for me

I honestly can’t remember the last time I made myself a new garment from scratch. After losing a ton of weight via bariatric surgery in 2015, I was daunted by the herculean task of rebuilding an Ottoman Turkish wardrobe. I did a LOT of resizing of previous garments. But in 2018, just before Estrella, I got a bug and made this reversible coat (I opened the coat so that you can just see the reverse side at the bottom of the full length photo). It was the first garment I’d built skin tight on my new frame and a lot of lessons were learned.
