What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

Using the fold over braid is a classic late sixties/ early seventies touch and the pattern is easy enough for beginners like me!

Linen/cotton print from JoAnn's and cotton FOB

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend

Didn't make any, but I would make it a tad shorter next time. I would also lower the neckline a tiny bit.

Would you sew this pattern again?

Yes

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

Yes

Any additional comments

Finding FOB is tricky these days. I would turn the hem next time and use piping or bias binding for the contrast.
