Ladies Dress 4016 UFO Unboxed

This Ladies Dress has sat in the box so long that I had forgotten what it was supposed to look like or what I was trying to do. The now defunct Vintage Pattern Lending Library 1912 Project that was trying to test patterns that came with no instructions from an April 1912 issue.  I'm not sure I would pick the same colors or fabric now. The linen wrinkles and the blue is so bright.

Lots of pins and pieces

If I finish the dress as is, I wonder if it would be easier to find some velvet trim for the stripes rather than try to make my own.

I'm also contemplating whether I could finish this dress this morning. Very doubtful.

I was able to find a few people who had made the dress. There may be quite a few more.
