See below for reviews of this pattern:
"This dress is made of cotton summer stripe fabric. I was intimidated by the strange pattern shapes, but actually, it was easy. I might make this dress again in an organza, with a silk lining. This one is perfect for the beach anyway. It took me all day on Saturday, but it was finished in time to wear to the Art Deco Ball in San Francisco, the theme was "Flying Down To RIO!'' This was the perfect dress for the event!"
"Just precious, although I was able to modify the back in order to install a zipper without tying the flourishes. Super duper pattern"

**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.
