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.'

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.
