Frock coat pleats

Recommended Posts

Working on a coat, linen liner with wool outer. Using a JP Ryan pattern which I no longer have. Can anybody advise a way to get the pleats right on the back? I have tried several different ways and cannot seem to get the pleats to lay right or the back of the skirts to look right.....getting a tad frustrated!!

Thanks!!

There were directions, but I put the coat up for a bit..needed a break from handstitching. I am hoping for a picture of a similar coat so I can see how they lay and take it from there. I am a visual learner I guess.....a thick headed, refer to directions to see what I did wrong visual learner!! Here is the coat thus far:

Bah! I wish I could assist, Wes. My own comp with all those images is currently out of commission. Perhaps Sterling will pop on here and show some great examples. Or Michael.
