Rugby Dress

I finished this Rugby Dress from Merchant & Mills a couple of weeks ago. I had procrastinated on starting it because I was dreading all the stripe matching, but it turned out great. I love the colors of the Sugar Cookie striped linen, which is also from Merchant & Mills. I was going to do the hack to add gathers to the back, but I completely forgot when I was cutting out the fabric. I didn't make any intentional modifications, but I only noticed after I finished that I made the entire placket in a contrasting color instead what the pattern shows with the contrast on the inside. I'm okay with that. Even though it's linen, it's still too hot to wear those long sleeves in this 100° weather.
