Gold Sequin Tailcoat

My tailcoat is based on a heavily modified version from McCall pattern #8701 - darts were removed, center back seam added, the 2 sleeve pieces combined into 1, lapels and tails were reshaped, and dropped in a full lining.

The top hat form is store-bought and the fabric was applied in 3 pieces (top, side and brim). The black grosgrain ribbon hides where the fabrics meet.
