So I bit the bullet, and didn't even break my teeth

So lots of people have been asking if I make adult coats. And now I do:


I drafted this last night and it actually sewed up perfectly. Including the armholes, God is obviously smiling down on me after yesterday's post. I made an retiree take these pictures. He's doesn't think I'm weird at all.


And the 'I'm a coward and always were black side'. You can see better from this picture that it's an asymmetrical collar coat.


I was kinda shocked how long adult arms are. Being a body dysmorphic, it's too big but I think it's still wearable. What do you think?

a. Wear it outside the house, with impunity!
b. Wear it outside the house, on the way to the asylum.
c. Wear it inside the house, when no one else is around.

  1. *LOL* it looks nice... it needs a brooch on the plain black side though.. or a scarf.

    I actually have a piece of that fabric from a trip to Ikea from ages and ages ago... I have used a teeny tiny piece and ignore the rest because I had no idea what to do with it.
