See below for a review of this pattern:
Per Seamstress and vintage fashion specialist - "I made this dress in the sleeveless style in a tan crepe. The dress was not easy but went together well. The most difficult part was the belt, which was a bugger to figure out! With over-the-elbow gloves, the dress was very sophisticated. However, were I to make the dress again, I would make it in a prettier color and a softer fabric to maximize the drape of the skirt. I would not make it in black as shown because the unusual seam lines of the skirt would be lost."

**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.
