Here is the blog post from a trench made earlier for Erin and a lightweight one for Erin back in 2008
As I was making this for Meredith, I just kept smiling and smiling. Why? The fabric is beautiful and so her. Also, it reminds me of my favorite aunt, she loves fabric like this and it will make her smile knowing her style is being passed onto another generation.
Here it is on the dressform:
