Here's the Love Notions Harmony toile (not ironed!!)  Its a reasonably good fit and a very easy make.
It also includes a "new for me" self-made bias binding (inspired by SewRuthieSew...)
I would definitely make this again.
Critique is welcome.
(PS:  I have a silly grin on my unmade-up face, as OH was making me laugh when taking the pic).

Looks good well done. I lurve using bias binding cut from my own fabric, I would rather add binding than sew a hem  :o
Let it sew, let it sew, let it sew

The binding is very effective with a striped fabric, looks good.

That's really nice, and a lovely picture!

Now I'm wondering why I've never made a Harmony - because I have the pattern... Hmm...
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Lovely!  Your bindings look great.
I also made this recently, but wasn’t happy with my fabric choice.  I used a Liberty fabric, which I thought was a tana lawn, but seemed more like a voile, and was rather too transparent for my liking!  (Which is why I didn’t post a photo!).
I made the full bust version too, and it was a great fit after I lowered the bust dart by 3/4 of an inch.  I put a narrow rolled hem on mine, but I like your bound one better.

Love this @annieeg , and your fabric choice, and binding are really effective.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Sorry Annie, missed this completely.

It looks lovely and well done on the FBA, perfect fit. The binding is very effective, too good to just be a toile.
