Last year I had a long, fully lined,100% wool overcoat made at Anika Tailor.I picked a design from their "picture books" and chose the fabric from their collection.It is black wool, ankle length with 2 pockets. As we live in Canberra it has already had many outings this season and I am thrilled with the cut, the workmanship, and the quality of the fabric. I had one visit for measurement- taking, and on my next visit for a fitting the coat was complete and fitted perfectly without alteration. The cost was close to $au300, which I consider to be excellent value, as there is no way I could buy anything similar for twice the price. I am not a small person, normally taking a size 20, so to get a good fitting coat at a reasonable cost was a bonus.We had Made do the measurements and fittings. Tell her Alistair and Marianne recommended her!
