I have made this coat, for my colleague's wedding party. It'll be in next February but it's always good to be ready in advance!
( I will need to make a dress and a shirt for my girl and husband by then, so there is not much time, anyway.)
The fabric is gorgeous indeed, and I really adore its quality. To my eyes, it shines like a golden wheat field in the late summer. Something beautiful, nothing snobbish.

lining: twill cupro, pale gold
2 plastic buttons and fusible interfacings (hard for collar, thick&soft for facing and hem)

I have also made a skirt out of this silk satin. After finishing the coat, I realized that one of my handmade scarves suited it very much. I had to make a skirt out of the leftover of the scarf!

Can't wait to see your husband's and daughter's outfits- the Flying Squirrell family are going to be the best-dressed folks at the wedding, that's for sure.
Hi EmilyKate, your wow wow sounds so lovely to me. Thank you so much! I'll try to take some photos of us on the day, to show their outfits!
