Simple pattern. Use very lightweight fabric with good drape to get the proper ‘floating’ effect. Looks good on tall, slender figures.

Quick and easy pattern to make; however, the bodice is much blowsier than the picture (the instructions say to gather it into the waistband, creating a blouson effect). If making it for someone shorter and curvier, you might want to make the whole thing a size or two larger than your measurements so that it will hang loosely and not emphasize curves too much.

This pattern made up very easily and looked terrific. The dress is made with a waist cinch that gathers the bodice where it meets the skirt. Unless you have that classic 20’s figure (that is, no butt at all), I suggest eliminating the cinch altogether, cutting the skirt larger, and just making the dress straight; otherwise, it bags very unattractively on top.
