I'm a terrible blogger! This was finished months ago but I never updated, and now I can't remember what I wanted to share about the process. I really enjoyed the collaborative process - there was a frustrating stage as I tried to understand what my customer wanted for the hood lining, but I figured it out in the end :)
​I LOVE this coat, and so did my customer!
"The coat is absolutely beautiful ! I love all the details on it, the pockets, the buttons, the color of the fabric and the hood lining and how the coat fit, it fit just perfect. I love how the sleeves fit at my wrist and how the bustle falls over my skirt. I wore the coat today, however the weather was still a little to warm for it, and I got so many compliments of my friends and family. They all think the coat looks amazing.
I am so happy with my coat, it is my favorite of my wardrobe."
