All done Donna Karan Vogue 1220
Really comfortable and very cute, it even nips in at the waist,
and it has pockets,
and I can never get enough of using my vintage buttonholer.
I left two buttons undone at the hem for this shot, now that I've worn it for a little while I can say that it needs a little something to keep it closed at the center front bust, otherwise it does open a bit. This was a problem I didn't have on the other DK style (wrap blouse OOP pattern 1961) because it was cut on the bias, this pattern is not. The dress on the envelope is made up in a dark charcoal, which I think is perfect for this style. It's just the type of fabric I would walk right by because unless it's made up in a dress I would think it boring.
Here I've rolled the sleeves up a little more and used a contrast belt instead of the self fabric belt.
I'll be making this one again.
