When I made Simplicity 3678 back in October I knew that I’d make it again.  Empire waist with gentle gathers at the front and back, and lots of bodice and sleeve options.  This time I made view A.

I really do love a V neckline with nice bust shaping! The fabric is a border printed interlock I snapped up on sale a while ago from The Cloth Shop. It took a little juggling and puzzling to cut out the pieces to maximise the print, but I think that I did okay.

The cap sleeves are fully self-faced so there is no sleeve hemming needed. Easy to assemble, and comfortable for work – although I wore a camisole underneath for work; that neckline is a little low for the office!
