I know a few people bought this pattern recently, has anyone actually made it yet?

I bought it and have some very fine, drapery knit fabric that I hope to use.

I’ve seen a few versions on FB some better than others but there is nothing on PR, just wondering if I should do a toile but would prefer not to as I know Sinclair patterns fit me well.

I made it and was  disappointed! On me the handkerchief hem is very unflattering (makes me look very wide) Mine is in a cotton jersey, something more drapey might be better.
I did make a toile and was very glad I had - I thought a medium would fit me well but had to add extra at the sides.
I'm actually wearing it  today - I'm doing some decorating and wasn't bothered at all when I splashed paint on it!
