I love it! I'm just shopping for the fabric to use in the class. Woul you share more specifics on the type of plaid wool you used? And which lining you would use in hindsight.

aww thanks everyone! I underlined in silk organza, but chickened out on the price to line in silk, so it's just a nylon lining I'm afraid. however, from now on I will line in silk, no point going to all that trouble and having amazing fabrics elsewhere but not against your skin! I really regretted my decision to go cheap...

Congratulations Rach J on a beautiful result! I really love your use of the bias in the plaid. Did you underline and line? If so what did you use? Well done.

That looks amazing - a great fit. It looks really expensive.
