I am so disappointed!
I sewed up the muslin expecting to verify the adjustments and tweak the fit. Instead, I found that the extra width around the hips doesn't do me any favors and I hate the neckline.
The back and side views aren't too horrible even though there certainly are things that need to be fixed.
But the front - oh my gosh, I've never seen anything uglier! Even ignoring the extra length pinned out above the bust, this is definitely not what I had in mind.
This is why I like to make mock-ups - I can throw this away with nary a guilty feeling. No nice fabric wasted on a hopeless project. So... in the trashcan it will go.
I have looked through my Burda WOF collection and decided to go for #120 from issue 12/06. I'd love to show you but the Burda website is having some problems with the image server and the picture may not show up.
I'll work on the mock-up tomorrow and if it turns out that this coat isn't right for me either, I'm just going to have to wear a poncho this winter.

So glad you did the muslin. Would it have been awful if you decided you'd have to actually make it once you cut into the good stuff? I hope you're happier with your next choice.
Phew, for muslins saving the nice fabric!
Oops, sorry, that last comment was mine. DD's visitor had logged in and I clicked without checking the ID. :)
same here with muslins, it really is worth it, hope the other one turns out great
Aw, I'm sorry it didn't turn out how you'd hoped. I'm extra glad now that I started a muslin.
Well! I can't say I've ever seen you in anything that didn't flatter. At least you know what details look good on paper and but don't on you and know for cheap.
Thank goodness for muslins! Hopefully you will be happy with your next coat muslin.
Oh well.... The next one is bound to be fabulous, right?
Alexandra .- trust you on the model 120 BWOF, the result is very good. Greetings, Paco
If at first you don't succeed, ....... I'm sure the next one will work out fine.
I'm sorry that this one didn't work out for you... But I see you have a new pattern in mind!
