I cut out the lining, I left one centimeter seam allowances.
The lower edge is cut directly to the length of the garment. The center front edge has substracted front edge lining (+ 1 cm seam allowance).

I marked the seam allowances with the help of copy paper to the other side. I didn't do it for the long sides of the gores, those will be sewn by the rule of thumb...
First I sewed the upper edges of the gores.
Then I cut the corner 2 mm from the seam and finished the long side.
The body seams were quite easy finishing touch.
Lining is prepared and waiting for the sleeves or to be inserted to the coat. My next task will be finding out which of these is the best next step :-)
