Alright. First off this is going to be a work in progress tutorial. I would say that this is a intermediate level tutorial. You should know how the machine works and be confident that you can sew a straight line, and there is NOTHING wrong with getting some cheap fabric and making a mock up. I am going to upload it in stages. This is my first tutorial, so there are likely to be loads of questions and changes. I do ask that you let me finish it before asking., It should take me a few weeks.
The pattern I am using can be found at:

This pattern fits M-XL, (slight thin to slightly over weight) for anything else, the pattern will need to be modified.
You will need:
2 1/2 yards of Fabric at 52" wide
2 1/2 yards of Lining at 52" wide
4 yards of interfacing (I use 950F Shirtailor)
I will start this tutorial just after the pieces have been cut out. All seam allowances are 1/2 inch.
