Sewing Summary:
Pattern: BurdaStyle Trench Coat 08/2016 116
Fabric: Wool, viscose, nylon mix light gray fabric from Nippori Tomato (similar here)
Sewing time: About 5 hours
Modifications: 1. narrowed the sleeves, 2. shorten the sleeve hem by 2cm, 3. added a contrasting color trim around neckline of lining, 4. shorten the coat length by 5cm.
Fit: It is loose fitting. I prefer a bit more snug fitting around arms.
Difficulty: Relatively easy; good beginner coat sewing pattern.
Make Again?: Probably not, because I want to try a different coat pattern (maybe Mint Trench Coat?) but I’m glad I made this one.
