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.
