I had intended to make two more of these before putting the pattern away, but time ran away with me and the next one is on the spring sewing schedule now.
This version is made from Broderie Anglaise which I bought in Coupons Merveilles in Paris earlier in the year. It was a 3m coupon, but after washing and drying it measured 2.85m, so again I made a gathered skirt with inseam pockets, not the version in the pattern. I also lined the skirt and bodice and lowered the neckline - I used plain red cotton voile for the lining. The sleeves are slightly shorter than given in the pattern, to lend that fabric to the skirt length.
I'm very happy with how it's turned out. I don't have much red in my wardrobe, so this is a welcome addition.
