This is the first garment of note I've sewn this Summer.

The fabric is a linen mix from Croftmill. I did a forward shoulder alteration of 1/2" to stop it sliding backwards as loose dresses have taken to doing, due to a lifetime of hunching over a keyboard. It's better, but I may need to add a bit more. I also took 1 1/2" off the length. I only had enough fabric to cut one set of bodice pieces instead of a fully lined bodice but it turned out fine just neatening the neckline and armholes.
It's very comfortable, and I may well make another next year. I have some linen for a Tessuti Felicia which is a very similar style but more of a pinafore for my next make after I finish some dark pink trousers.
