Good for beginners. It is flat-lined and very easy. The sleeve is a little complicated. Sit down and read the instructions word for word. It makes sense and is accurate. The illustration for the sleeve provide a clear example but, the finished sleeve does look slightly different from the illustration. Kathleen is wearing the bodice with Period Impressions #602 Flounced Skirt in the image.

The torso part of the bodice fits well and poses no significant problems. The puff sleeves have a bizarre net under-layer that is important to both the appearance and the shape of the sleeve. The instructions for the sleeve were so cryptic that I gave up on this project for nearly two years. I finally finished the gown by ignoring the meager instructions entirely and, instead, experimented with pining the sleeves together and looking at the sketch provided in the instructions.
