I finished muslins of the Lady Grey coat bodice this weekend. These photos are grainy and were taken at night, but surprisingly they fit.

Lady Grey Coat: Early Progress
+ + +
After procrastinating on this project for the past week, I finally got over being intimidated by tailored outerwear and decided to cut the patterns out. Esteemed Sewing Assistant (Bean) was helping the entire way.
Edit: I just realized this morning that I should have gone up a size for the Lady Grey coat, for the layers needed during the winter. I’ll probably use 1/2 inch seam allowances instead of 5/8 inch on my muslin and see how that works out. I’ll probably also need to add flannel as an interlining for extra warmth.

I didn’t think I would be participating in the Lady Grey Sew Along at Gertie’s site, but I am. I bought my fabric, lining and interfacing over the weekend. This is my first time making a coat, so this should be interesting.
