Carmen Stone –
Definitely the best bustle gown pattern I’ve worked with so far. It goes together very well and is a beautiful gown. I used a plaid fabric and got a lot of complements on it.

Definitely the best bustle gown pattern I’ve seen. It goes together very well and is a beautiful gown. Allow extra time for the ruffles; they seem to take forever.

This is a wonderful pattern and makes up beautifully but, it is not for a beginner. A muslin is essential for the bodice. Once you get the fit right and cut out your fashion fabric, use the muslin as your lining. If you like more fullness over the bustle, cut the skirt and apron wider and add more gathering (or pleats) in the back for extra fullness. Cutting the apron on the bias is another option to increase the drapery of the apron.
