This 1960s reproduction sewing pattern is replicated from a Ceil Chapman Design. Pattern is cut to Designer Measurements NOT Standard Pattern Measurements. It is sized as follows:

* Waist - 28 Inches

* Back Length from base of neck to Hem - 47 inches 

As per envelope: "For this dreamy date-time dress, the designer took a length of gossamer chiffon, smoothed it over one shoulder, slanted it like a sari over the other shoulder and across the body in soft folds of drapery. Then she added a waltz-wide skirt to float through dancing evenings. The draped dress is worked over an under-bodice and skirt of non-transparent fabric." Such Drama!

**Due to the designer details of this design, this pattern is recommended for an ADVANCED sewer. 

A MUSLIN IS A MUST!**

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.
