Notes My second sample of this pattern. The final top is supposed to be made of embroidered silk. This time I used a stretch satin cotton for fabric and lining.
I took a pattern in size 38 which fits pretty well - I just reduced some centimetres under the arms and on the back to have a really tight shape.
In contrast to the original (very short) technical instruction, I closed the neck part not with buttons but stitched it.
Instead of a zipper I used hooks - honestly I'm not fully satisfied with the technical result. Let's see what I'll do with my next corsage ;-)

Fabric: elastic cotton
Lining: elastic cotton
Loops and hooks

    I love the collar and neckline. I wish it would be drafted with raglan sleeves and a back.
