I love this pattern! I made it for a friend from a floral-printed 100% cotton voile, and she received so many compliments! The directions are very clear and the pattern itself is easy. I changed the sleeves from the open sleeve to a cuffed style. But you don’t even have to cut the armscye larger like one usually does on historic costume patterns – it was perfect. The shirring on the bodice is not time consuming at all, so don’t hesitate to add this one to your summer costume wardrobe. You will have to provide your own chemisette pattern, though.
