So here is what I wanted to make last January and never got to.

  It is a Butterick, Connie Crawford.  I heard people have had good luck with her patterns, especially if they are large.  I have a poly/linen blend that is black. I am going to use that as a muslin.  I have lots of it, so if it works, I'll make one and embroider something on the lapel, maybe.
