This is the first Mill Farm pattern that we have used. I like the fact that you can make two different style gowns. Patterns are so expensive; this gives you more bang for your buck! I wanted to have the English style gown made (the Roble a l’Anglaise). It was interesting to stand and have someone actually fit the dress to my back. I love this dress. It is so comfortable. We did make one modification. We sewed one side of the stomacher to the gown and put hooks and eyes on the other side. I have a problem with my vision so one side of the stomacher would always end up higher than the other and I would have to re-pin it several times. This way it’s always straight.
