Finished! Had this linen in my stash for more than a year now from when the ISGB had their Gathering in Houston. We went to High Fashion Fabrics and this cut of chocolate brown Armani linen was one of my finds. It shifts slightly in color depending on the light due to the crossweave of brown and off white.
The pattern is Butterick 6178, View D Size 18. Very happy with the outcome, there were a few rookie mistakes- most notably is the gap btwn the zipper and crossover waistband on the back. This leaves a small opening below the waistband and a little skin shows. Must have put my zipper in too low. :(
It fits nearly perfectly right out of the envelope- just need to make some adjustments on hem length for the next make. I had added an inch thinking it would be a good idea since I'm tall, but now am reconsidering it.
