V8626 put together ...

Well, except for fasteners, and I am not going to use coat buttons for this one.  I thought to use coat hook-n-eyes, but right now I am not even sure about that.  It doesn't seem to be hanging right, on me or on Mathilda, and I am wondering if it is the fabric choice (unknown home dec remnant) or if it's the omission of the deep pleat in the CB of the lining.  Here are the pics:

The side pleats don't appear to be laying right, and when wearing it the sides feel "wrong", plus I am still not getting the front to hang straight - I noticed it in the shell pics from the other day.

I think I'll leave it on Mathilda for a few days and see if my last two working brain cells produce any ideas for it ...
