But I quite like it. Simplicity 1080.  This is the tunic top.  I made some denim capris earlier in the year (same fabric as the pockets) but they’re not really high waisted enough for my tastes.  So the tunic solves that problem, plus used up a bit of stash and is a kind of wearable toile as I wouldn’t mind making the dress, version A.  There’s actually few fitting issues, it’s graded xs to xl rather than 12, 14 etc so I made it for my full bust measurement and took out some excess around the neckline and that was it.

Love the boats RD .. I'm a fan of pockets too but because they usually have stuff in them I tend to go for more discreet ones If I had those and they were full it would rather spoil the effect  :ninja:

Perhaps something to get you back into sewing UR? I actually like the contrast of the pockets though. The ties do dispense with darts which does seem to make fitting very simple.
