Noch ein Shirt für den Alltag und Büro :) Genäht nach diesem Schnitt: "Pune" von Schnittbox. Wieder aus demselben Viskose-Jersey wie beim ersten Shirt. Diesmal hab ich den Saum etweas begradigt und anstatt eines Stoffstreifens eine zarte, elastische Spitzenbordüre verwendent.

Another casual shirt I can wear to the office :) I used this pattern: "Pune" from Schnittbox.
I made it from the same viscose-jersey I used for my first Shirt. This time I removed the curve at the front of the hem and used an elastic lace instead of a contrasting fabric.

Sometime in the '50s, a talented lady named Erica brought these beautiful dress designs on paper and I was lucky enough to discover them in an antique shop in Vienna. I bought a stack of antique sewing magazines and eloquently coaxed the seller to give me the sketches too (what's the last price ...). Unfortunately, I couldn't find out anything about Erica.

I love Kimono-Dresses and I fell in love with this dress when I saw the pattern. However, I had a few issues with the pattern. But alltogehter it looks nice and it's wearable.
I had the feeling a part of the instructions is missing. It is required to cut 2 frontbands, but I only found out after a few times struggeling how to sew it to the dress. And I think the interfacing on both sides of the front band is unnecessary (the front band is now really "thick"). I want to make this dress again (as a maxi-dress), but will try it without the interfacing.
I added another band at the hem of the dress, cause I think it looks nice and matches the sleeves.
The pattern requires a lot of handsewing, all contrasting bands are sewed down with slipstitch. I don't mind that, cause I love handsewing. But you should have that in mind, if you want to make a "quick" dress.

And the finished dress:
