It was a very easy pattern to follow. As with most modern patterns, I had to work with it a bit to get the fit right for the time period I wanted. I did make a few minor changes. Rather than having buttons down the front, I closed it with hooks and eyes so that they wouldn’t show if I wear a sheer blouse over it. I also changed the way I attached the seam binding to the neck and armscye edges. The directions for this seemed rather silly: ironing bias tape open and then folding it in half. I ignored the directions and attached the tap in the normal way, sewing it right sides together, flipping the tape to the inside and top stitching the further edge into place. The finished slip does everything I wanted it to do: it covers my corset, avoids adding bulk to the waist and hip area, and adds body to the hem of my skirt.

I made View A out of cotton muslin. It went together quickly and easily. I finished it in two days.
