dress to tunic - butterick 5191 to simplicity 1364

I made this dress last year, and could not bring myself to complete it fully as - there was a flaw in the fabric, and also when I tried it on it was quite frumpy.  Simpliciity have a blogger sewing challenge currently so I opted to try one of their patterns.  In the middle of sewing, I managed (with no great effort it seems) to put a hole near the neckline.  I have rescued it for the moment but may undo this and try a collar or contrast fabric. more details here
