The only thing I don't like about this tutorial is the way the pieces are cut. It makes you look thick in the waist. Something I would recommend is to make the thing out of newspaper, then recut the pattern pieces. This isn't actually a hard project, but you need to be accurate. If you make the lining first, sew yourself in, adjust to fit (aka seams and shit), then use the lining as "pattern pieces" for the outside, it'll work a lot nicer.
