I got impatient and started one of my staycation projects early.
I made this before in white Kona and it worked pretty well but there were some minor fit issues and I didn't keep it (I'll probably make it again if this version fits better). So I got it out the other day and added some back width and neck darts, and did a small FBA. Seventies patterns are so flat.
I have one yard of green gingham homespun. I think I can make this work if I make it sleeveless and collarless and probably a bit shorter than the photo suggests:
Eh. But closer:
Upper back width, rotated to neck dart (this is a rough draft. I need to fix the shoulder line):
FBA with bust dart rotated into the shoulder gathering (also a rough draft. these will be retraced):
