It’s not a difficult pattern but, the information is limited so you’ll need to have knowledge of fabric grain and how pattern pieces fit on the body so you can lay out the pattern pieces. Their are no instructions for grain line or cutting. The pieces are correct and do fit properly. Even though this is a loose-fitting dress, you should make a muslin first. I made some additions to the pattern you may want to consider. I cut the left front side wider so I could attach it in the right side seam. This way the wrap front does not gap, flap or sag. I added buttons all the way down the front and loop closure. It adds a more finished, tailored look. The trimming is cut out of a second piece of fabric; I hand-finished all the edges and attached the trim by hand. The finished dress suggests the designs of Erte and really does look like an original garment from the twenties.
