That is going to be so cute when it's complete! I only wish I had advice, but I haven't sewn since I owned a Barbie sewing machine.
You're ambitious, I'll say that! Managing the mad GS4 updates at CR and sewing a pair of pants in a day? If it were my lazy arse, the costume would wait until the site had died down.
The red is actually pretty damn bright XD But I think it matches his official art pretty well. The lining I chose is definitely more purple than it should be but I like how they look together, so I'm gonna go for it!!!
I agree about the interfacing. Generally, I've found that the iron on interfacing washes fairly well if you don't mind hand washing and line drying something, which it seems like you would want to do for a vest with lapels anyway, in my experience.
Since, for lapels, every pattern I've seen requires two layers of fabric, if the fabric is particularly "swishy" still, I would iron on a layer of interfacing to the inside of both the front and the back piece of the lapel.
I've also found that, generally speaking, the interfacing you can buy by the yard is a LOT stiffer than the kind that comes prepackaged. Someone else may know more about why-- I just know my local store. ^_^
And finally, none of this applies at all to sew-in interfacing, as I've never used it. The iron on kind has served me faithfully for a number of years, and I'm lazy.

Though, last time I made a pair of pants Edgeworth's crotch seem started coming out at the convention. Quite the embarrassment, Edgey~~~~ (TMI~)
