Note: I made it from Italian handkerchief linen, embroidered with hand-dyed silk floss, but machine-sewn. I used a silk ribbon for the sash.

Note: I left off the shoulder decoration as it made the sleeves stick out funny! I did alter the neckline to be higher, and added a small pleat at the bottom of the back opening to facilitate a slight overlap.
