Sorry for the confusion. The seam allowance is noted on the bottom of the yardage chart. It's 5/8" except where noted. So just use the 3/8" seams where indicated on the pattern pieces. Thanks!

Is it a 5/8" seam except when you mention 3/8" seam? or is it all meant to be made using a 3/8" seam?

Always cut larger, since is is easier to subtract than to add. I always recommend making a muslin toile of the bodice to test the fit, so cut that out in the larger size, baste it together, and try it in over your dress with underpinnings to check the fit. Hope this helps! Hi, Catherine! Always cut larger, since is is easier to subtract than to add.

I just purchased this pattern and I was wondering which size spencer jacket to make. I am exactly in between two sizes and was unsure of whether to go up or down. Which would you suggest? Thanks! Hi!

I'd love to see that polar fleece pelisse. Sounds fun! Merino wool would be a wonderful option, as it is so soft and has a bit of give to it. You could also try a heavy plush felt (I can't think of the correct name for it, but it's found at craft and fabric stores). Have fun sewing, and share photos when you finish, as I'd love to see what you make! What a neat idea, Dawn! I’d love to see that polar fleece pelisse. Sounds fun!

Is it possible to make this with lace? I want a lace pelisse to wear over a dress that is too brightly colored to soften it. Thank you, Mrs. Chancey. Is it possible to make this with lace?
