I haven’t even counted how many times I’ve sewn this pattern – it must be into double figures by now. I’m not going to go into much detail; just use the search feature on my blog if you want to find my previous versions.

It’s Vogue 9057, first published in 2014 and still in print but now as Vogue 1733. It was a Pattern Review best pattern in 2015, 2016 and 2017, and there are more than eighty reviews of it there at the moment.

I tend to sew size Medium, which is smaller than my measurements would suggest. Marcy Tilton designed this pattern, and it seems to work really well on most body shapes. I generally sew view D/E, with the points in the front hemline.  I finished the sleeves with cuffs because of fabric restrictions that meant I had to cut the sleeves shorter than utilise scraps to make cuffs to get them to full length.

The fabric is a printed remnant that I found at The Cloth Shop. I always like to ferret through the remnant bins! I suspect that I’m more likely to wear this type of print to work than casually, but this is how I wore it a week or two ago.
