My finished pelisse!
It's amazing to wear. The heavy trim moves and ripples the skirt in ways I didn't expect. It is very intimidating as well, thanks to the military vibes.
The center front facings were surprisingly difficult. I had to snip the piping, then pull the fluff out out of each bit piping enough so it would lay flat. That is 136 piping ends to manage. I then had to make sure the facing had enough tension on piping to keep it flat.
The decoration removed over an inch of length from the skirt.
Qibbles - I screwed up the lining hem so I wasn't able to get the hem details done. I decided against the center front piping as I wanted to show off the that crisp front edge. And of course the color match.
I don't want to see another piece of piping for a looooong time.
