So, of all the things I love about vogue 8728, the fact that it works so well with liberty Tana lawn is probably the thing I love the most. here it is in “First Prize”:
Bodice is ready for close-up:
And the rear view:
I wasn’t sure if this pattern would work for fall/autumn/rainy season, but in a dark color it does well, don’t you think. I think I can even wear this with boots (nb: I have not evaluated this hypothesis yet).
There have been two questions in the comments I haven’t answered yet; one is “how does this work for bust(y|ier) people?” That’s a good question. I am not sure I would wear this if I were a D cup or bigger, without major underpinnings (or even with). The gathers do, um, emphasize the region, and part of the charm is that curved waistband. but if you’re on the cups-runneth-over side and have made this, please leave a comment!
The other question was about the depth of the armholes. I think they’re okay, myself, but if you have a “no visible bra side panel” policy, this dress is not for you (or you have to tighten up that seam a little).
The main danger with this dress is that I will never wear anything else. It is that good. So easy to make, so easy to wear …
