I have made my first duster coat from Simplicity 8648 Option D in white broderie anglaise. The pattern was easy to follow. I added to the skirt back width to fit my hip size 132cm the largest size on the pattern had size 117cm. I also changed the waist size to 22. My bodice was a 16. Due to all the changes, there were not too many gathers on my duster.
This is a quick and simple project that I managed to complete in one day.See my finished product below, side by side with the pattern.
