Fitting a straight-front-seam cotte — 17

Sheree's finished gown is a maroon wool twill that spiral-laces in the front and is closed along the arms with buttons.

The neckline of this gown was considerably lower than the neckline of the curved-front-seam gown I produced for this experiment. I did not make the two gowns' necklines at different levels on purpose. In retrospect, I think this gown could have benefited from wider shoulder seams and a higher back.
