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!
