The instructions are vague. Not suitable for a beginner. The sleeves are cut on the bias and had to be adjusted several times to get them right. The skirt is cartridge pleated and contains a lot of fabric; therefore, you should choose a fabric for the bodice to support the weight of the skirt. Carefully line the bodice with a medium weight fabric. The finished gown fits very well.

I could not find many examples of makes of this gown so I will review. The dress went together really nicely. I shortened the petticoat and changed the ruffles on the arms but otherwise I followed the pattern. I will use this pattern again.
