 Since I remember that you're rather shortwaisted, I'd adjust to
 shorten the pattern at the waist  hip. Bring the indicated W  H
 marks up to match yours. You may also need to make adjustment at 
 the
 neck, bustline  across the shoulder since IIRC you're bustier than
 the typical B or C cup Folkwear designs for.

No waist/hip marks on my patterns -- either I got a misprinted copy or
Folkwear is aiming this pattern at the more experienced sewers.  I see
mockups in my future.  Fortunately I got two large boxes of mockup fabric
for my birthday.

I have an occasionally-updated LiveJournal.  As I work out the
alterations (I also have to upsize this pattern), would it be useful to
anyone if I put the alteration notes up there?

 Have fun at GenCon, I'm missing this year.

So am I -- I can only afford (in money and vacation time) one big trip
per year, and Costume Con was in driving range.

To anyone who has made Folkwear's Tibetan Panel Coat, or lives
someplace where they can take a look at a real one:

Is this supposed to be a knee-length garment, or a mid-calf?

The envelope picture isn't clear.  I already tried asking Folkwear
directly, and the response was moron, look at the back of the
envelope, it's a 47 long garment.

47 inches long would be almost floor-length on me, and I know that's
too long.  I need to shorten this, but how _much_ do I need to
shorten it?

Also, my pattern does not have the adjustment lines that the pattern
instructions claim are present.  Does it work better to shorten at
the hem, or about the middle of the pattern piece?
