Pattern goes together well and has a nice Victorian look (more theatrical than historical). Has modern shoulder seams instead of dropped shoulder seams (hidden under capelet). Changes made to pattern included: adding a second set of buttons to balance out the front, tacking each button loop at the triangle so buttons don’t slide to the end, bag lining the body and turning inside out through the pocket slit, made lining slit after turned inside out by marking through the top fabric slit and understitched most edges.
