I do know that I used Simplicity Pattern 2172, metallic lace, gold fringe, and a lot of stretch pleather in a beautiful maroon color that I do have some left of. The changes I would make to this coat would be to take it in, remove or replace the eyelets in the back (they are the cheap ones that shred ribbon), and possibly re-drape or flatline the stretch material. I don’t like how its visibly sagging at the hem.
