I have spent hours and hours and hours, to find a Lady Lancaster pattern (which obviously is not available, duh.) But you have captured one of them amazingly well! I actually never thought of trying to develop my own pattern because I NEED exact instructions. The lapel is what I also prefer. So just in case you might like to offer a pattern on let's say Etsy - I would not complain. In fact, I would buy it. But regardless, thanks for the inspiration. Your sewing, quilting, crafting, design space is wonderful. Really enjoyed this video!!
