Can't believe it's been 4 years since I made this coat! I got out the pattern and was glad to find I made some notes. Here are the adjustments I made:<br /><br />+ 1/4" broad back adjustment on CB piece (piece 3) and yoke<br />+ 3/8" to side seams of pieces 4 and 5<br /><br />The broad back adjustment gave me an extra 1/2" of width all the way down, so it looks like I only had to add to those side seams mentioned above. I would recommend tissue fitting though, if you haven't already done it. Also, probably best to avoid adding onto the seam where the pockets are, just for sanity's sake. :-)<br /><br />Hope that's helpful.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-48577671097927407432019-11-05T04:10:35.081-06:002019-11-05T04:10:35.081-06:00Hello Gail, I'm just starting out on making my...Hello Gail, I'm just starting out on making my Stella Coat and will have to grade out two sizes at the bottom. May I ask which seams you graded out? There's so many pieces! I don't know whether I should grade them all out or whether I could get away with just the side panel pieces?

I loved the coat when it popped up on instagram, but the lining and detail shots are so gorgeous that I'm really glad to have seen them.

Both companies design the sleeves really well, and that's important to me because I find that a tough area to fit.
