I would definitely need more insulation than even a flannel backed
lining satin - Thinsulate is my fave. Here's one link:

This is a really cute coat!
I think so too -- making it for my 14 yo daughter in a mostly black
plaid. Since we don't have enough fabric, the lapels and pocket
flaps are plain black wool, same as the lining. She wanted it
without either the bottom ruffle, or the sleeve ruffles, so it's a
hybrid of the views shown.
As a winter coat, it will need some insulation in-between the fabric
and the lining. Any suggestions? I was thinking the old-fashioned
all-cotton quilt batting, sandwiched between some gauze would work,
but since I'm posting OT here anyway, I thought I'd ask for
suggestions of something better. Better as in: warmer and already
faced with something.
