I enlarged and mocked up the Patterns of Fashion caraco a few days ago.  A bit loose, neckline a bit too low, and a few other minor glitches, but it was not too bad.

I also had a yucky horizontal wrinkle at the waist, looking like it needed a fish-dart or some such thing.  I don't want to do that unless I really need to, because I'm trying not to deviate from the original too much.  I think adjusting the pattern elsewhere might reduce the wrinkle enough.

I've transferred the changes to the pattern and cut a new mock, just waiting for the time to sew it!  Then the construction seems pretty straightforward.

Besides the jacket, I also need/want:

plain lawn sleeve ruffles
a cap
a new kerchief
stockings (but I will totally buy these)

Then F's dress!  Eeep!
