A-line summer house dress, made from osnaburg cotton (it will get so soft the more it gets washed). There’s no stretch so note the bust size (it’s where it’s a tad too snug on me). This is more of a wearable muslin, and would be a great dye project. When I remake this, I will drop the armholes a bit and increase bust to fit me better. I’m not a total novice but I’m definitely not a pro, so it looks super great at arms length but upon close inspection you’ll see little bits that would be neater with an advanced sewist. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The one place it feels important to name is the bottom of the armholes- the seam doesnt lay quite flat and wants to turn out towards the outside. This bugs me because the armholes are too close for me and I can feel it as a little raised area under my arms. That could conceivably be a nonissue to someone for whom these armholes fit. (See photo) Would love to trade for other simple house dress/apron/skirt style items. Linen or cotton, shift/caftan/wrap, etc. Bag?
