A 40's Shirtdress

Remember this pattern?


You may remember I've made Views 2 and 3 previously:



Well, I decided to make view 1 in this lovely 50's rayon that I got from ebay:


I used little gold buttons with flowers on them. They are quite cute. The rayon was awful to sew with. It moved around, frayed badly and was generally difficult. Ah well.

I know this pattern well enough now to not have any difficulties with it's construction.

A side view - see me practising my nice posture? :-)


And then from the back:


It isn't my most favourite version of this pattern, but it is a great dress for work.

Which is your favourite?
