I cut the pattern a couple of sizes too big so that it would be more shift like. I also cut the neckline differently to make it deeper and rounder. Once I had sewn in the bust darts I arranged some old pieces of ribbon I had across the bodice and then sewed them in place. I didn’t bother with facings, just sewed some bias binding around the neck and arm holes. Finished in two days!
Material Notes
Black cotton/polyester; Old pieces of coloured ribbon; Black bias binding
