This suffered from incorrect fabric choice, and not knowing that I needed to start with a smaller size and do a FBA..
I went for a cotton lawn?, which was too crisp. What were meant to be lovely draping cap sleeves, ended up as shoulder awnings!

Sewaholic - Pendrell Blouse
Another archive make - the Sewaholic Pendrell blouse. Again, one of my first makes when I started sewing.

Sewaholic - Crescent Skirt
Back to the sewing archives ....
One of the first patterns I made when I started sewing again about 5 years ago was the Sewaholic Crescent skirt.
I never really wore this, because the fabric was too crisp and not really my colours.
I would consider making it again in a more drapey fabric, with some added back length. Also, the pin at the front waistband suggests I should lower the front also.
