So, I put together the main parts of Butterick 3421 today. It fit reasonably well, except for gapping at the armholes — I had to take a lot out under the arms and also tighten up the tips of the shoulders. Besides that I had to shape the top parts of the side front seams, just below the shoulders, to hollow them out slightly.
The pattern's meant to have a short placket in the left side seam. I meant to replace this with a zipper, but as it turns out, it may not even need a closure. The waist is not extremely fitted, the armholes and neckline are easy to get into and out of, and the crepe is stretchy. We'll see.
I also worked on photographing the LWD since there's a PR contest for that. You have to accessorize... ugh. Not one of my skills, hobbies, or interests, and I definitely have a shortage of things that go with ivory since it's so rare that I wear that light a color. Oh well... first world problems.
