I used some batik cotton purchased at a garage sale last year. As I didn't spend much cash on the fabric, I thought this would be a good test run of the pattern. I think it is perfect!
I originally cut out a size small thru the bust and shoulders and tapered to a medium at the waistline. As it turns out, I ended up taking in the sides at the waistline to a size small so I have gone and recut the pattern to be just a size small entirely now.
I am really getting some use out of my green Dansko's too! Who knew I had so many green garments in my wardrobe.
The color looks different inside, but here's a close up of the patch pockets with flaps. The buttons were from the stash and they match perfectly. I used slightly smaller buttons on the pocket flaps.

And here's the back.....
That's it for today. My next Vogue dress is coming along nicely but due to it's black/white herringbone weave that makes your eyes go crossed, I can only work on it for short time periods. The "Electric Butterfly" dress is almost finished too. I just need more hours on the weekends to finish everything! Here are my latest stats for everyone that is following along on my stashbustin quest...
