I didn’t have any problems with the construction. The finished coat is really good looking and fits well.

This would make a great raincoat. Flattering to most body types.

Rather than turning under the inside edges of the facing to finish them, I sewed those edges of the facings to the interfacings, right sides together, and turned and pressed the facings. Then, I top-stitched the edges and sewed a zig zag line along the inside edges to encourage the two layers of fabric to act as a single layer. Finally, I did the stay stitching on the facing edge. It’s still straightforward to make flat fell seams, because all the curves are gradual.
