  9. Thanks again :)

    I used a silk brocade I found in the Garment District in LA. You have no idea how excited I was to find it!

  13. What kind of shift do you have on and where can I find one? I love the sleeves!

    1. The shift is from the Kannik's Korner pattern. I just added buttoned cuffs instead of the uncuffed sleeves in the pattern. The sleeve flounces are from Patterns of Fashion by Janet Arnold. They're made of linen and basted to the dress.

      I'm not sure where you could buy either one ready made. Both are quite simple though!
