BIG warning–at least on the copy i had, piece H is printed backward, so you will have to flip the pattern piece or the fabric before cutting. Of course they may have corrected since i got my copy, so be sure to pin the pattern pieces for H and G together before cutting to double check. The skirt is kind of strange since piece G goes 3/4 of the way around and H is the other quarter. In addition, the layout instructions (there is no diagram) say to put the piece with 3 Ts on the fold but there is no piece of that description. They mean center back. The closure edge of the bodice and skirt don’t meet so i cut out about 2 inches extra on the front edges of the bodice and adjusted as i sewed the pieces together. Aside from those caveats, the pieces go together pretty well, though there are no instructions for plackets, facings, buttons or the stay, so you need to be experienced enough to deal with these on your own. It looks pretty good and fits well–and the skirt is really quite narrow, so the odd drape on front don’t give extra leg room. The sleeves are quite nice and i’ll probably re-use that part of the pattern on a modern dress. Sorry, the picture is partly in shade so it doesn’t show the shape very well.
