That's right, we're going tissue pattern for this one! (Trying to follow paper instructions is like trying to read a broadsheet newspaper on a train. Not having to do this is one of my favourite features of digital patterns.) I'm talking about Vogue V1869, view A; the top. It's an off-the-shoulder wide collar, over a princess-seamed bodice, with a wildly asymmetric hem (that is split up the side for access to potential things like zippers and pockets). It closes by way of a long 18"/45cm invisible zip (though I used a 16" one) in the centre-back seam.

Many details )
