Now that I've put all the buttons on (close-up of the buttons over on the right there) and worn it out a couple of times I have to say you were right, dear commenters.
I do like this coat. Although it definitely looks better on me if I don't button it up all the way - and better still if I don't button it up at all.
Also, the term "spring coat" is a bit of a misnomer. Because around these parts, the kind of coat you'd have to wear in spring is a rain coat.

Those buttons are great.
I agree it looks like it hangs better unbuttoned.
I like it on you, both buttoned and unbuttoned! Very flattering. Nice work and I'm so glad you are enjoying it. :)
Yeah I think it's just 'cos I generally suit lower necklines.
I'm the same as you (look better unbuttoned than buttoned) but buttoned is warmer. Coat looks great! Well done you.
Looks gorgeous! Such skills .... I'm in awe. I think my last sewing project was an unfinished velvet pinafore in Form 2.
I got nice comments at work today too, though it was from a 70-something co-worker whose dress sense is on the conservative side (the only thing we have in common is we are both short).
It wasn't really that hard to make - I just made it hard for myself by choosing tricky fabric and not reading the instructions properly!
Looks good both ways. Nice coat.
