YAY! It's finished!!

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!
