Only after seeing a lot of creations by other members, I saw the potential of this pattern (usually I’m such a sucker for precise tailoring ;) I followed the pattern for yoke and lining, but just used the entire width of the fabric for each side of the outer layer because it was so thin and sheer.
outer layer: printed silk/polyeshter blend lining: thin black wrinkle cotton yoke: my usual black cotton, woven fusible interfacing short zipper
