These are both the same, the first is made with fabric I bought a few years ago (I think it's a Kaffe Fassett-designed print?) I love the colours in it.
And the second is fabric which I think I bought last year, or possibly in 2019, with the intention of making it up in a 1930s / 1940s pattern, but it's quilting cotton (as is the blue chrysanths fabric) and I decided it probably wouldn't hang properly - not enough drape - so it's become this.
For both of these I modified the bodice which is now a mish-mash of sizes from 8 (armholes) to 14 (shoulders). I also lowered the neckline and adjusted the seam allowances at the armholes and neck for bias binding rather than facing. I may have done this for the blue and yellow striped version as well, I can't remember now! Both of these dresses also have Bardon pockets and the skirt is 6" longer than the given pattern pieces.
