Slim Chemise Dress in Blue

 I remade the 1952 Vogue 7231 again in a blue cotton linen blend. It's better, but I still have the collar issues with this one. I need to learn some more about pattern drafting. Here it is on my dress form and that's all we need to say about it. This dress is nice enough for housework but that's about it. I will not be putting this into the permanent pattern file.

Hey Vogue! How about redrafting this one for the 21st century?
