hiriami and I are going to the WWII airshow in Reading, PA this June (as in like two weeks better get moving here) and I've outgrown all my 40s wardrobe. When I was at my mom's for easter she offered me a dress length of what feels like rayon (burn test was positive for either rayon or cotton I can't tell flame colors apart that well) which is idea for the no doubt 100 degree weather.

So I picked up three vintage patterns. Help me chose which!
Option 1:

Pro of this one is it looks simple. Cons involve will it make me look like a linebacker in a dirndle.
Option 2:

Pros of this one: I think the shirring would be flattering, but would the skirt look like a loin cloth? cons: more complicated. aka sleeves.
Option 3

Pros: less gathering in the skirt. cons: I like the construction standards of vogue better.
I did actually buy all three as they were all on sale. So vote and help a girl out! What's your opinion?
