I found this white jersey with tiny black polka dots at Emmaüs and decided to make a dress with it.
I dug through my stock of vintage patterns and chose the unlikely Butterick pattern 3160 (thanks Aunt Sue!) which is a pattern for a big-sleeved night-time robe with buttons all the way down the front to the hem. I simply stopped the buttons at the waist and got this garment. Madame Sutter showed me some buttons she'd removed from a white blouse and I was hesitant in using them because they had a contour of gold which can be too classic looking. But, actually, they weren't at all bad and decided to use all seven of them. The jersey was difficult to work with.
