This is a Regency Era Pelisse (approx. 1800-1815), made of green wool with polyester taffeta lining. The pattern is the Sense and Sensibility's Regency Spencer and Pelisse pattern. I bought the wool on a trip to New York last summer - all 4 yards! I must have looked ridiculous carrying a massive plastic bag into Wicked later. Sadly all the photos I have are really bad. I'll have to take better ones later, when it is sunny.

Front View with Lining. The lining took forever to get right. I had to re-hem it several times because it just didn't look right!
After finishing it, I guess it looks okay. I had hoped it would fit better and hoped it wouldn't just hang. Sigh.
