From 1952 The Sheath Dress

This is a reproduction from the Vogue Book for Better Sewing (c1952). It is the Late Day Sheath Dress. I've made it up twice; once in a printed linen and the second time in black linen. Both dresses fit well but I took a little width from the neckline between the green linen and the black linen. This drew the straps together a bit more and made the dress easier to wear.
