I think the thing that keeps it from entering bathrobe territory is the sleeve cuff circumference. It's quite a bit narrower than most robe style sleeves. I'm considering lengthening it and using it for a robe pattern as well, but would probably widen that cuff if I do.Ann Brodskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893522256894299340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-68773673852446569672014-11-12T21:27:55.218-06:002014-11-12T21:27:55.218-06:00I'm looking forward to seeing you make this. ...I'm looking forward to seeing you make this. I like the pattern's line drawings, and the styling of the photographs, but like other people have noted--it could look like a bathrobe. I plan on buying this pattern and several others from McCall's latest release. I want to study the pattern and figure out what tweaks would make it look more like a stylish jacket. I know that I would add an inside pocket so I would be able to store some cosmetics. I have no doubt that your garment will be stylish.<br /><br />Rose in SVRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782386414185682598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-73810072855108942762014-11-12T19:08:31.835-06:002014-11-12T19:08:31.835-06:00Your post peaked my interest in this coat.

You are tall and probably can pull off wearing a hood and turn it back to have a full collar. Me being petite, this may overwhelm my size. I do like it though!Linda Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655695696943452993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-9445625231565545302014-11-12T18:53:06.105-06:002014-11-12T18:53:06.105-06:00I like the pattern, but I think the fabric McCall&...I like the pattern, but I think the fabric McCall's used is all wrong and really does make it look like you just hacked the bottom off of a bathrobe! In the right, non textured, fabric though - anything like the gorgeous one shown on your pinterest link for example, it will be great.AllisonChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431369603470575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-23952504452781076382014-11-12T17:04:01.415-06:002014-11-12T17:04:01.415-06:00Thanks, Tany.Thanks, Tany.Cennettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109335050044632749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-73185627061632320052014-11-12T17:03:36.594-06:002014-11-12T17:03:36.594-06:00I haven't decided yet.

I have a dark green wool as well as some black in my stash. But the selections on Fabric.com are tempting. Are you planning on lining or underlining yours?Auset's Stitched Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924962703801889913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763990199846204241.post-56038785752868961172014-11-12T12:33:18.933-06:002014-11-12T12:33:18.933-06:00Thanks, Michelle.

The pattern has potential though if you use a different color on the lapel and maybe the belt matching the lapel. Sorry if I am too sincere.
