Update on Vogue 8480 Jacket

I'm almost ready to begin lining my jacket.  For the most part I'm pleased with how it's turning out.  Being the perfectionist that I am when it comes to sewing, I'm not totally satisfied with my bound buttonholes.  I've not made many of those.  It takes lots of practice and I just wanted to get on to the next step!   I haven't added the buttons yet.

The sleeve area is not to my satisfaction either.  From some reviews I saw on www.patternreview.com others making this pattern have noted the same issues.

If I ever make this pattern again, I will make some adjustments to the fullness of the the sleeve cap.  There's a couple other things I might change on the sleeve. It's cropped and flared.  I believe I would lengthen it and maybe narrow it somewhat.

But I love the rest of the look of the jacket.  It has lots of topstitching.

I'm hoping after I launder and press this jacket some of my concerns about the sleeves will be resolved.

Here's a picture of my jacket so far.  It's hanging from a hanger so that affects the look.  It does seem to fit nicely.
