See below for a review of this pattern:
'I ended up making the 2nd view in as a light cotton frock, but changed it quite a bit - made it sleeveless and added a neck tie instead of the decorative shoulder bow. Overall, I am happy with the result, although I did have some trouble attaching and draping the sash - ended up lacing it through a decorative buckle and tacking randomly.'

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND
This is an exact copy of the original vintage pattern and as such may retain any original errors or miscalculations in formatting native to the original pattern. While I have made up some of these patterns, I have not tested them all out and cannot attest to their accuracy or perfect fit. As with all garment construction, it is best to make a mock-up for fitting in test fabric prior to cutting and constructing with your final fashion fabric.
