Fabric is 100%cotton from vogue fabric's , pattern BWOF 105 from issue 2/2009. It's a nice medium weight with a slight sheen

Technical drawing. I omitted the side pockets, cut out 38 on top 40
from hips down, no other alterations

I am old enough to remember this style from the fifties

I lined the skirt portion of the dress as it's cotton I figured it would crease less. If I make this again I would choose fabric with a little stretch. I think it would be more comfortable and provide freedom of movement

It's sporty and the belt gives it the retro-look. Instructions were pretty good for BWOF.
