I opted for Cluny lace instead of a ruffle for the revers and pockets and I moved the belt/tie so that rather than the raw edges being stitched into the side seam where the closure would be, I placed it in the seams between the waist front and waist side fronts (I DID have to lengthen the belt for this to tie nicely in the back). It went together easily, but the neckline was a bit sticky for me - I found I needed to adjust and re-adjust before I got it to where I wanted it to be. Also, the pocket marking was a bit off but an easy fix - I just hiked it up 1/2 inch and it was perfect. I adore the look and was so pleased it was available in the larger sizing".

**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.
