I had a go at this one, version B.
It was initially going to be in the stripes comp., but a little wedding made me run out of time. I've just finished the buttons/hole.
I like it more than I thought I would, but had difficulty sorting out what was expected of the sleeve ends - resorted to looking at the line sketch and doing my own thing.

Looks great. You’ve inspired me to have another look at this pattern.

I bought it a couple of years ago, together with 4 metres of chambray. In the end I made another Lynn Mizono pattern and a blouse.

That is seriously fab @fajita . Looks great. I've made that one and it turned out really well. Lynn Mizono patterns are all excellent. She did that dress pattern with the tie bit in the middle that you button up into a bubble shape and the super V1312. I just wish she did more for Vogue but I don't think I've seen a new pattern from her for years.

@Tamnymore I have made that dress a couple of times, and a long tunic, a couple of times with sleeves and one without.

@Holly Berry hope you give it another go.

Love the fabric and the red button, @fajita  !  I have the dress pattern but haven't made it up yet (surprised, much?).  I don't think I've seen the kimono one before, it's very nice.  I'm leaning more towards more interesting shapes and patterns these days....

@fajita  and @Tamnymore that’s the dress I made out of the chambray. I love her styling, it’s very simple but effective.
