See below for a review of this pattern:'This is a highly feminine pattern with lovely details. Although it is listed as for a 34" bust, by cutting for the wider seam allowances, it worked for my 36" bust. The pattern calls for a front or side zipper but I found it easier to make a center back seam and insert an invisible zipper there. I also skipped the sash and shortened the dress about 6 inches to fall at the knee for a more modern look. All in all, it's a delightful garment.'

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.
