Not sure how to rate this pattern. I made many changes....fully lined, longer (below knee), zipper and storm flap down front, zippers up from bottom of side seams. My fabric was non stretch, so fit was tighter than pattern size suggested (10 on upper body, 13 from armholes down). Wouldn't have been big enough for button overlap.
Instructions would not have been detailed enough if I wasn't an intermediate sewer.....and if I didn't have help. Sewed most of it at 3 day retreat, and the organizer was VERY experienced and helpful. I couldn't have done this on my own.

Très beau patron, quelque peu modifié pour en faire un manteau d'hiver doublé. Facile à faire et tres élégant.

Easy to sew. Used Softshell and converted to a zipper front on my own. Love Jalie patterns!!

Ce patron correspond à ce que je recherchais. J’aime les 2 versions. Facile à coudre. Avec une overlock, les coutures intérieures donnent un fini impeccable. J’ai choisi la version capuchon dans lequel j’ai inséré un cordon avec attaches ajustables, ce qui le tient en place.

I was looking for a pattern to make my first coat. I like that this pattern is unlined (fast to make) and has a generous hood. I made mine with a zipper - this was a bit challenging for me as it was my first time sewing a separating zipper and having to modify the pattern to do so was a lot. I ended up adding an afterthought zipper guard to cover the one top of the zipper that I mangled trying to shorten the zip. I found the pocket instructions tricky to understand at first, but the result was beautiful. I'm really happy with my coat!
