One of the pattern pieces for the dress was missing. The piece for the bodice is just a flat rectangle (no seams marked, no darts, no gathering lines — nothing). The instructions for the bodice front are, “Fit”. That’s it. When you’re making a gown for a Size D person, you need to do something substantial to a flat rectangle. I modified the pattern. The gowns turned out very well but, I would not use this pattern again. Sheri (on the right) is wearing her gown; Beverly Avery (on the left) is also wearing a gown Sheri made from this pattern.

I’m just starting my muslin, and my first impression with the Period Patterns is they could have used a better quality of paper, like the Burda pattern company uses. For a $25 pattern, you would expect a little more from this company. And after reviewing the instructions and pattern pieces, the comments listed on your web page were right on target. I might just cut my losses and look for another pattern.
