Notes I chose pattern to match the floral fabric for the yoke. The plain cotton fabric has a delightful sheen to it that might not show up in the photos. As you can see though, it is holding onto folds like grim death despite hot irons and steam. I just hope a wash will make the fold lines disappear.
A quick sew, nice fit. But I did have some difficulty with the instructions for the bow. The pattern pieces do not include a facing for the yoke but the instructions mention them. I improvise with using part of the yoke pattern for the bow. But I think the fabric for the yoke and bow should be a very light lawn rather than a substantial cotton even if it is light weight.

    Thank you for the information! It is very helpful. What about the fabric recommendations with Lycra in the description? Is strechiness required?
