sewing advide: coat tails
Ok I'm going to be making a jacket with coat tails. I've sorta done tails before but I didn't like the way they looked so I'm trying to do it right this time.
I bought the only pattern I could find that had tailed jacket to get an idea from there. The pattern has the tails as a separate piece from the top of the jacket and then attached. While I had always thought it was supposed to be just one continuous piece from the top to the bottom back.
So I'm looking for advice on whether I should go with this and make them separate pieces or try making it one piece that splits (which I've done before)?
I read the directions in the pattern and the method they do does make sense, I've just haven't stared at enough tailed coats to really be able to tell if there was a seam there or not.
