Stylish Dress Book and Merchant & Mills

Time off for good behaviour and I came up with this from the Stylish Dress Book, dress V.
Think more uber-cool Japanese style and less maternity.

Liberty needlecord with 50 year old linen and some vintage buttons that I've been dying to use.

The only mods are that I shortened it.

Good Friday is do what you like day in our house so I've started on Merchant & Mills Dress Shirt.

I'm just using an old curtain for the test run.

Found in my button box, the accumulation of many other people's button tins from charity shops etc, St. Jude, patron saint of lost causes.

I had just shrunk my favourite hand knit sweater!
