This is a pretty easy and straightforward pattern. If you are not quite the 36 bust the pattern is sized for, it may gap at the neck. If using the odd asymmetrical collar you can ease it onto the collar, otherwise you can get rid of a couple of inches by easing it onto a shortened facing. The dress is shown in cotton, and it looks better in person than in the picture. I think it would make up better in wool (unfortunately you can’t see my fun cicada buttons). Joan Crawford wears a similar dress in Grand Hotel. I like the sleeves so much that I’ve added them to a couple of other dresses.
