I felt my final piece worked well, however it was difficult making some of the parts especially the skirt as it was made from an old women's jacket meant that i had to do a lot of hand stitching to hold the folds together. I put a zip in the back so it made it easy to take on and off and i made sure the pleats ended before the zip so it wasn't something you had to put over the head. Overall i am very pleased with my final garment.
