A difficult pattern. You’re working blind putting odd, large pieces together and turning the lower piece under to form the dress. There is no way to adjust the fit; it either works or it doesn’t. It is attractive only on a tall, slender figure. Janet is wearing the dress in the photo on the right.

The dress wasn’t flattering to me. It did go together exactly as explained in the instructions. I think you need to be tall to wear this dress.

This is simple in that it has few pieces. However, I had trouble with (1) turning in the neck facing — the neckline is just a slit, and I couldn’t get it to stay inside without doing some “embroidery”; and (2) sewing the hem — you can’t see what you’re doing. It probably does look best on a tall person (I’m built like a peasant).
