Thank you! I will wedge the canvas to create the bust shaping as suggested.

Has anyone created a ladies jacket for a full-busted person? Did you change the chest canvas coverage at all? My ladies jacket has a princess seam for bust shaping, but I’m not sure what to do with the canvas. Should I stop the canvas along the princess seam, or should I cut a dart shape out of the armhole (along the princess seam placement) and **** the cut edges together and sew with a strip of Silesia behind it? Or something else entirely? If I canvas only up to the princess seam, what should I do about the hair cloth (that would normally reach to the side seam/AH area? I’ve made up the jacket in muslin (multiple times!) for fitting purposes, so I’m confident of the fit through the bust. I’m just stuck on the canvas shaping and construction. Thanks for any insight on how to tackle this issue. Jenny

Congrats!! I'll be buying my copy later today. I can't wait to read it.

Hi David-- sorry, but there was no info about its weight, but I realized after I bought it that it was an upholstery weight fabric.

Thank you! I’m looking forward to my next one that will definitely be in fabric that is easier to work with. Your lessons were so clear and easy to follow. After another waistcoat, I’ll take the Ladies Coat course next.

Thank you! I'll give them a call and also check Etsy.

Thanks Rory! I've done quite a few double-besom pockets, if that's what a jetted pocket is, so I'll keep that in mind for the future if I end up with a thick fabric again, I actually did try folding back the welt corner inside before cutting it back, but the fabric is a mess of fraying threads. I ended up applying a small square of fusible on the underside of the welt to keep the fraying somewhat under control. I also had to whipstitch around all the cut edges inside the front panels to control fraying.
