This is Simplicity 4076. I made view D with the sleeves from view B. Unfortunately, I can't get a decent pic that doesn't reflect my bra. The fabric has a very open weave & is very susceptible to that sort of thing. I did an FBA but still need to add a little bit more and it needs a bit more length. Other than that, I'm very happy with the whole thing. I hemmed the sleeves using a Pearl Crown Rayon in the upper looper of my overlocker on the rolled hem setting and I stretched it a little to make it wavy. Although it didn't roll, it made a nice edging.
Here's a close-up of the neck edge where I used black FOE.

Hey Alison. The photos you've taken are good. The work you've done is even better. The yolk and sleeve edging is very impressive.
I love it! What's the fabric content and where did you get it?
Fabulous Ali! Hope your weekend was outta this world!
We want details! :)
I'm going to try your sleeve edging technique.
