This is a very good pattern with well-written instructions. I made three changes: I cut it on the bias (and in cutting slightly increased the flair in the center back of the lower skirt), I added two godets on each side of the skirt at the hem thereby adding more flair and I replaced the zipper with hooks and eyes. The dress was made out of a very light silk and will be worn to Deco era events. The goal was to emphasis the influence of the 1930s style in this dress. It was a tremendous success. The finished dress is beautiful and definitely evokes the 1930s.
