Thanks! David did the sewing for that coat, but we both worked on the design/fitting.
I think you have seen the best of my garb in the couple of events we have both been at--most of what I have in my closet is old and worn out (some so old it isn't even period-cut). I cut way back on sewing when I started my PhD, and the newest, best researched costumes I had made before that started were stolen with some luggage. Since finishing the degree I have spent more hours nålbinding than sewing, so every time I pack for an event I stand at the closet full of clothes, and say "I have nothing to wear" and keep wearing the same couple of outfits in decent shape...
It still boggles my mind that slender people like you look at me and think "we share a body type", because I didn't get this slender till around 2008 or 2009, so still think of myself as a bit larger...
