The pattern is Simplicity 7148 from 1975. I like the shirt but I'm not impressed with the job I did with the collar, there was no real way to make it any better though so I had to leave it in the end. I also think I should have used an invisible zip but you live and learn!
The fabric was from my cheap local fabric shop and is a gauzey flowery lightweight mixed fibre fabric, the zip is vintage from Freecycle and the button is vintage from my Aunt's button box!
I'm not sure how I'll wear this, the pattern shows it with a belt but I don't really have the figure for that kind of thing, or the belt! I'm sure I will wear it at some point though, it is a nice weight and I love the fabric pattern so I am glad that I made it!
