I had an interesting time with this pattern morph. The front wasn't too hard - aligning CF on CF, I simply traced the front edge and funnel neckline from V2988 onto the front of V8307. In this picture, you can see both the original lines and the new lines.
The back was a different story. V2988 has a cut-on funnel collar in the front but a separate collar in the back. I could not reconcile the neckline curves so instead I drew an extension similar to the one in the front.
We'll see how well it works when I make the mock-up tomorrow. I've left the original V8307 lines (shoulder and neck) in case I need them for adjustments. I think the funnel neck looks really wide on the model and I may have to take it in a little.
I am also debating leaving the fairly close shaping as is or making the coat slightly looser and belting it instead.
The planning of this project has been a lot of fun and I'd like to say "thank you" to all who have written words of advice, both here and elsewhere, about these two coat patterns. I have read the reviews and blog posts, looked at the pictures, and taken into consideration every comment. Sewing is definitely not the solitary endeavor it used to be, thanks to the wonderful online sewing community.
