Janet Pink Dress

This should be easier than it is - but it's a pain to find a usable pattern, the right size gingham and the right size buckle. It's also impossible to find the *perfect* scalloped trim and the right flower buttons. I used to be able to find those buckles at thrift stores in abundance. All that aside, at least the pink gabardine is still in abundance.
I actually have a better time with the Proposal Suit than I do this dress. Weird. The buttons are 2" apart - at least that part works out well!
