Lempi Button Down Dress

I recently made the Named Lempi Button Down dress after many months of lusting over this pattern. It did not disappoint! It is a straightforward, intermediate pattern, with nothing more difficult than found in shirtmaking. The only hiccup was related to my fabric, a cotton sateen which had a bit of stretch. The back neckline stretched out a bit while cutting, so I had to do a quick fix to return the neckline to the proper length before sewing on the collar. For those who have sewn the Reeta dress, the Lempi, in my opinion, has a similar it and structure.
