I have a question. Its about the cut of a banyan. I dreamed about this for manny years, finally i have the oportunity to make it, because there is an event in september where i can use it at breakfast. I want to make my banyan in an oldfashioned 18th century cut, with t-shape and doubble breasted oriental closure at the neck. Today i drafted the doubble breast part, because i want to embellish it with 3 rows of silver bobbin lace and 2 rows in between the lace with an embroidered rose wreath. Now my question, would 49 cm be two much width of the doubble breast at the fot hem? The banyan is going to be made of shot silk taffeta, purple/green as a main collour, but the doubble breasted front is going to be a green shot taffeta, turquise blue/yellow like the cuffs and collar. The banyan is very simple in cut, only i am not sure if 49 cm of overlapping in the foot hem would be two much. Thanks for any inputs
