Here is the finished product:
The 2nd picture is the back and its lopsided on the hanger... I asked her to send me a final picture of her in the wedding :) I am ecstatic that it is finished!!
Here is a picture of the actual last fitting:
I needed still to hem it, change where the zipper ended, put a stitch to keep the front closed a little and lift it from the top seams...so the front doesn't hang and show everything. I removed an original pleat from the front because it stuck out strangely. That was tough because of the extra fabric. It created an extra bloop on the side seam, but I didn't know what to do with it. When it's on, it hangs nicely. Oh, I also still needed to attach the lining. I created the lining to the bottom; the original pattern only showed a lining for the top. I used this great tutorial to attach the lining to the vent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV6dNTi6WvU Thank you to FashionSewingBlogTV!
