I've been sewing a camp dress for myself for the last couple of weeks and that's the finished result.
And a close-up from the bodice.
As you can see, the buttons and button holes are still missing. I've been wondering now how to close it - left over right or right over left? Does anyone know for certain? I've been looking online but haven't yet found something definite. This dress which I saw at the Museum of Florida History in Tallahassee closes left over right.
Clara Barton's dress in this picture also closes left over right. Furthermore, even though it's for men, the uniforms I've seen at the Tallahassee museum also closed left over right.
I've been looking at other ladies' pictures but haven't been able to discern anything that would answer my question. So I was wondering if some of our fashion-knowledgeable members (@JPK Huson 1863 , @Mrs. V ) have an answer or can direct me to one.
Thanks a lot in advance!
