    I found the pattern to be very simple, all the shaping of the polonaise was in the front darts, which could be altered to fit each person. As long as you left the neckline until after the darts, there should be no problem. I had to deal with a very small amount of fabric, and I altered the sleeves be look like a favorite fashion plate from Harpers Bazaar. I also had no where near enough fabric for the train, so altered the polonaise pleats into the back seams. It is a forgiving pattern and will allow a fair whack of experimentation. However you have to fit it, even if it’s just inside out on yourself. Next time I will make it with lining and fabric in one, and out of a softer less brittle fabric.
