I can even less wait to make mine, now. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for giving so many details, they will be much helpful. Did you use the recommended interfacig - Vlieseline volumineuse? I have no idea what that is.<BR/><BR/>After that, we *shall* have to meet and strut the streets in our matching trenches, you know. We'll just have to.

This trench-coat I love the material and I feel wonderful. What is it about? Seems a tafetán but looks strong (no need for lining). Congratulations on the work of sewing, is magnificent and admirable. An inspiration for those who taste of the original and unique.

I adore his songs, love his lyrics to death and find him one of the most charming men on earth :)<BR/>Rosanne, my Burda mentioned no batting (but then the Romanian translation is so awful and inaccurate...) but I saw in the layout drawings that some parts are interfaced. I therefore used a fusible interfacing on the cuffs, hem facing, collar (both collar and stand) and lapel facing. <BR/>Linda, not only I don't mind you posting a link, but I am honored and grateful, thank you!
