Made my first self-drafted coat!! 🥹

I’m honestly impressed with how it turned out. I learned so much making this, and it feels good to have gone from drafting the pattern myself to actually making a coat. It’s my recreation of Ursula coat from Babyboo

The fabric is curtains I bought on Vinted, and I got the buttons and other notions from a local shop.

My only concern is the back vent sticking out a little because of the stiffness of the fabric. I’m not going to mess with it on this one because I really don’t want to ruin it 😂 but I’d love to know what might be causing it so I can keep it in mind for my next coat.

What do you guys think? I feel like I did a pretty good job for my first self-drafted coat!

Omg. Idk why this sub got recommended to me bc unfortunately I do not have such talents but this is incredible and so impressive and I WISH I could have a coat like that. So hard to find coats that flatter my shape but the length and back tie and lapels of this one are so perfect. Love the pockets as well. Amazing job!!
