Although the finished gown is pretty, the construction isn’t accurate. The bodice should be smooth. The pattern pieces are much too large and you end up with a huge amount of fabric that can’t possibly create a smooth line with drawstrings. The neckline has way too much fabric to gather. I gathered and gathered and gathered some more and it’s still too large.
