I would like to try the sleeveless version sometime in a linen for summer "smart casual"-style dressing.

I underlined the main pieces with silk organdy to reduce wrinkling in this linen.

I made bound buttonholes, but positioned the top one a little above the roll line. I'll know better next time.

I inserted flat piping into the facing-lining seam.

Showing off the red contrast flat piping. The skirt is a contemporary McCall's pattern with a faced waist.
