See below for a review of this pattern:
"This is an amazing pattern. One caveat, though - it's possibly the most difficult dress I've ever put together. The front yoke/overlay is very confusing, but with some work I was able to figure it out. I recommend this pattern to experienced seamstresses. The shape is unusual and incredibly charming, and everybody who saw the dress absolutely loved it. I did have a slight problem in the fit - the skirt underneath the drape is a very tight fit over the hip but tended to curve nicely under the bottom. To alleviate the problem, I would insert some godets there, or alter the pattern to have a bit more room. I'd recommend making this up in a very flowy fabric. The drape and movement is what makes the dress awesome. Silk, rayon and wool, and probably not a cotton."
This McCall pattern was originally created by Dec. 30, 1929 and has been re-digitized into it's current format. All content falls under the copyright www.BeespokeVintagePatterns.com 2004, and as such, no portion of this pattern may be photocopied or reproduced by any means without written consent.
This model was featured in McCall Style News, November 1928 with the caption "Paris Measures Formality by the Irregularity of Hemlines" and advertising "The McCall Pattern Reproduces The Actual Lines Of The Original Model". Although McCall did not have Paris designers producing their pattern lines, they did take liberties bringing their styles (this one by Jenny) to the American seamstress.
Patterns are reproduced directly from the original source material, with no changes in order to retain the historical accuracy of the pattern. Prior sewing experience and knowledge of working with vintage patterns is recommended.

**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.
