many years in the making

It's finished! After first hearing about a "rub off" pattern a couple years ago, I have finally completed mine!

It fits quite nicely, and I'm happy with the weight of the fabric and with my sewing. The only thing I would have changed is to make the both the belt and the contrast hem wider, but alas, I ran out of fabric. I may change the topstitching on the collar to red, but otherwise it's pretty darn near perfect. (And it's what I wanted, a good comfortable outfit to wear while teaching!)

For comparison with the original:
