The coat is edged with black velvet ribbon. The overcast of the ribbon over the sleeve edge was tricky. I took a lot of small tucks in the ribbon to get it to curve.
The skirt is done in large box pleats. This is to date one of my favorite items, but alas I can only wear it in Winter. Last Birka I paired this with a Velvet skirt with Bodice that had a forepart of the figured velvet. Looks really nice. Entered it into the Birka fashion show. Didn't win, but Axel did with his outstanding men's English doublet and breeches he made. No pictures. :)
