Troubleshooting
Difficulty fitting the two-part sleeve.
Ensure you are matching the notches exactly. Baste the sleeve into the armhole before final stitching to check for ease distribution.
The lining is pulling or puckering.
Ensure you have added enough 'ease' into the lining during the construction phase; lining should always be slightly larger than the outer garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have measured yourself accurately according to the size chart provided on the envelope. Select your size based on these measurements rather than off-the-rack sizing. Because the pattern calls for lining, it is recommended to pre-wash all fabrics to prevent shrinking after garment completion. For care, it is highly recommended to dry clean the finished trench coat to preserve the shape and the internal tailoring. When working with the gilet, ensure the elastic is measured correctly to match your waist tension before sewing it into the casing.
