This is a Victorian Tailoring book that had a collection of extremely helpful step by step instructions to draw out pattern pieces. The only issues I had with this book is that it had no instructions on how to sew any of the pieces together or how to construct linings so I had to guess a lot when it came to sewing and lining drafting.
My almost complete tester excluding the sleeves as I was confused about how to construct the cuffs as the boo didn't provide instruction.
Starting to create the final tailcoat
These are some pattern pieces that I've interfaced to make slightly ridged like the collar. Simply cut it out and iron it on.
I had to solve the issue of the lapels because on my tester when the lapels were put in place the inside of the coat was showing so I drafted a section of my body pattern to sew into the inside to fill the gap. Linings were cut out slightly larger to allow flexibility but I struggled to sew lining into the tails and that's probably the only element of my tailcoat that I'm not too sure about. I also fabric wrapped buttons for my tailcoat.
