Although, I'll be using an embroidered cotton voile (that's been languishing in my stash for several years now) and a vintage 50's pattern that I've made into a TnT one. I'm just debating between sleeves or no sleeves....hmmm.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the inspiration!

On the sizing issue: my measurements actually put me at a size 16, but I always size down to a 14 in the bodice because there's so much ease in some patterns.
