Description

The only resemblance to Amanda is the pattern. Instead of the casing at the neck and waist, I added 13 pintucks to the front neck and 5 to the back neck. I added 4 darts at the back waist and 2 at the front. I would still like to take this in a little more, but I like it a lot better than the original. I want to do this kind of adaption again with a plainer fabric next time, and with a slightly different sleeve

Material Notes

John Kaldor cotton voile, thrifted.

    Very clever! The neckline is fabulous and fabric choice is gorgeous. Suits you.

    Like your take on the Amanda, wasn’t keen on the original, great redesign.
