Redingote

Version 3 is pretty close to as perfect as i can expect with imperfect patterning. In my "research" i started suspecting a lot of redingotes are constructed like dresses snd not coats, but i dont have a good dress pattern atm

So i got into stays and bum and skirt and tried on version 1/2 again. It was made with the base of my gowns and just wasnt quite right. Then i tried on tje riding habit again and i just prefer that fit. So i adjusted the draft to be close to the riding habit, following the LACMA pattern more as guidelines, and made a new mockup. Im rwally happy with it. Needs a couple small adjustments but its much better thsn my first one. and the collar fits into it now.

I also drafted up the collar fall and capes. I dont know if i will have enough fabric for the capes but they are done.
